The coming end of sugar protectionism?
US sugar may finally face import competition in 2008:
NAFTA will allow Mexican sugar to enter the U.S. market without restrictions in 2008. Sugar producers have been trying - unsuccessfully - to amend or delay the expiration of the transitional mechanism. "In any case, the legislators who write the 2007 farm bill will not be able to craft a sugar title without taking post-2008 Mexican access into account," says the Sweetener Users' Randy Green.
