| 4:54p | США, 200 лет протекционизма на рынке сахара  Due to import quota restrictions that limit the amount of imported sugar coming into the U.S. at the much-lower world price, American sugar growers are protected from more efficient foreign sugar farmers who can produce cane sugar in Central America, Africa and the Caribbean at half the cost of beet sugar in Minnesota and Michigan. This sweet trade protection comes at the expense of American consumers and U.S. sugar-using businesses, who have been forced collectively to pay 29 cents per pound for domestic sugar on average since 1982 (and now closer to 50 cents), or more than twice the 14 cent average for world sugar over that period (now about 25 cents), see chart above. How much does this trade protection cost Americans? Almost $4 billion last year, as I calculated back in January. U.S. sugar policy has a long history, going back to 1789 when the First Congress of the United States imposed a tariff upon foreign sugar http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2012/06/wil |
