The Competitive Enterprise Institute goes off the rails occasionally (as in “what climate change?”…), but the organization is right on the mark on the issue of import quotas for sugar. American cane and sugar beet growers, it seems, have lost a bit of their clout by alienating agricultural export lobbies – not to mention the soft drink industry. Hence the current opportunity to persuade the Agriculture Department to raise the quota. Here’s hoping that some day, some way Washington (and Brussels) let tropical cane farmers (in Mexico, Brazil, India and Thailand) compete openly in the sugar market.
