Market Overview

Sugar is a naturally occurring, clear, soluble chemical that has a sweet flavor from sugar cane or sugar beet in the form of glucose and fructose. Sugar is classified into two types, white sugar and brown sugar, while sugar may also be found in honey and is naturally created from fruits, vegetables, and milk. Sugar is composed of high calories and carbohydrates, providing the body with fast energy. Sugar can also aid in normalizing excessive blood pressure and hypoglycemia, and is good for the intestines. Sugar is nutritionally useful and a source of flavor and thickness in food products, and a food preservative due to hindering the growth of mold. The US has legislation and government programs, which include cane sugar, that support the domestic sugar industry. The US has a tariff-rate quota that limits the sugar imported at a minimally lower tariff, which protects the US sugar market to provide a constant market for domestic sugar producers that includes cane sugar.
