Brazil Called Out for Dumping Sugar on U.S. Market

During a Senate Commerce subcommittee hearing, North Dakota Senator John Hoeven underscored the challenges seen in today’s sugar industry. “Brazil is dumping sugar, over quota, into our market. They have forced sugar prices for our producers down 42 percent, but if you go in the store, it’s flat.” said Hoeven.”This is an example of where we need to enforce our agreement for our sugar producers.” U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said he would look closely at this issue with Brazil.
