Closing Case: Sugar Subsidies Drive Candy Makers Abroad

CASE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Who benefits from subsidies to U.S. sugar producers? Who loses?

2. Do the benefits of U.S. government support to the U.S. sugar industry outweigh the losses?

3. What do you think would happen if the U.S. government removed all support for U.S. sugar producers?

4. Government support programs for sugar producers were introduced in the 1930s, yet they are still in place today, long after the original rationale disappeared. What does this tell you about political decisions relating to international trade?

5. If you had the power to make changes here, what would you do and why?
