Are Sugar Beet and Cane Growers Threatened by Mexican Imports?

U.S. trade officials rule that imports of sugar from Mexico injure or threaten to injure local cane and beet growers.

The ruling confirms a deal between the two countries that sets prices and a quota for imports and putting an end to an 18-month trade war.

The U.S. International Trade Commission voted unanimously in favor in the final stage of a dispute, a decision that was broadly expected.

A coalition of U.S. producers petitioned the U.S. government in 2013 for protection against surging levels of low-priced imports.
