U.S. Sugar Policy

Because of America's sugar policy, consumers enjoy a safe and affordable supply of homegrown sugar at little or no cost to taxpayers. No wonder most members of Congress, bankers, labor unions, national farm leaders, and even foreign sugar suppliers from developing countries back U.S. sugar policy.

  • The 2008 Farm Bill continues the tradition of not providing subsidy checks to sugar farmers while maintaining market balance to sustain stable prices.
  • The bill also includes new tools to help U.S. sugar producers cope with today's challenges, such as skyrocketing input costs and uncontrollable subsidized sugar imports from Mexico.
  • Food manufacturers have launched a lobbying campaign to pressure Congress and the USDA to ignore the new Farm Bill and flood the sugar market with subsidized imports so they can increase corporate profits.
