Mexico blocks sugar imports with high tariffs. It also uses unfair trade practices to boost exports and expand production, which violates U.S. trade law and international rules set by the World Trade Organization. In fact, the U.S. International Trade Commission found Mexico guilty of breaking U.S. trade law by dumping subsidized sugar onto the U.S. market to give its industry an unfair advantage and harm U.S. producers. • U.S. prices are declining, not increasing The price U.S. sugar companies must pay for the raw sugar they refine is up because of Mexico's controversial trade actions. But the price that U.S. food manufacturers pay for refined sugar has fallen 24 percent over the past two years. In fact, sugar is as cheap today as it was in the 1980s. • Confectioners' U.S. footprint is expanding, not shrinking While the company you cited moved one manufacturing line to Mexico, dozens of food companies have expanded manufacturing in the United States—in some cases moving operations from Mexico and Canada. We have compiled a list of these expansions, available on ASA's website, which has more than 130 entries since 2012. That explains why U.S. Census data show job growth, not contraction, in the U.S. confectionery sector. ■ Editor's note: Contact Phillip at phillip@sugaralliance.org.
