Abstract

This report examines the probable impact of alternative U.S. sugar policy positions on U.S. sweetener producers, processors, and consumers. Policy options considered include U.S. free trade, participation in an international sugar agreement, supply management through import quotas, and direct compensatory payments. World sugar prices to 1980 are projected for the free trade option. Consumer and U.S. Treasury costs are compared for protectionist options.
