FT : EU pays double world price for sugar

[user 6228]

From a world of sugar where the talk is about excess supplies and relatively low prices, the European Union sugar market seems a rather bizarre place.

Right now EU consumers are paying double that of world prices for sugar and the continent’s food companies are struggling to find supplies at reasonable prices.

The source of the distortion is protectionism in the shape of EU sugar quotas.
