摘要

It is twice as costly to produce sugar from beets, in the temperate climes where these crops take root, than to make it from cane, which grows tall, year-round, in the tropics. And yet the European Union is one of the world's biggest exporters of sugar. This is possible only because Europe's sugar farmers are as adept at extracting favours from Brussels as they are at extracting sucrose from beet. The EU is obliged to buy sugar from its beet growers at ?632 ($768) a tonne, almost three times the world price. Such high prices attract imports from overseas, and encourage overproduction and underconsumption at home. The EU deters imports by raising tariffs, and it clears its sugar mountains by subsidising exports. EU producers have shipped more than 3m tonnes annually in recent years, accounting for about 10% of world exports.
