In 2016 the EU granted Ukraine trade preferences in the form of tariff rate quotas (TRQs) for agricul- tural products including sugar under the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement. In June 2022 in response to Russia's attack on Ukraine, the EU extended these preferences to full...

The Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union (CAP) has a long tradition. After World War II, agricultural and food production in Europe was substantially weakened and unable to provide sufficient food for the domestic population. The CAP emerged from this situation, with the objectives...

ERM-AE200 is a set of three ethanol materials certified for the deuterium (D) distribution (deuterium-tohydrogen (D/H) amount of substance ratios and the relative deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio), produced within the scope of ISO 17034 accreditation [1] and ISO Guide 35:2017 [2]. The certified...

From 2002 to today, world sugar production has steadily increased due to higher food consumption and biofuel production. Furthermore, in the European Union, the CAP 2014-2020 new reform abolished the system of production and sugar exportation quotas by 1 October 2017. Therefore, since that date,...

Background: studies have shown that one potential cause of obesity is excessive sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption; and its health harm is not often fully accounted for when people are making consumption decisions. Objective: to measure the monetary value of harm from excessive SSB...

Brands seeking to achieve reduced sugar content in their products generally adjust their product line to include products (i) with lower sugar content, which decreases the brand’s relative sugar content, or introduce (ii) smaller package sizes, which lowers its sugar content per package. Such...

The research where executed in 2021, at the Turda Agricultural Development Research Station, using the Vangelis sugar beet cultivar and followed the influence of Terracalco 95 soil amendments on physiological parameters and production at different stages of crop development. The granular soil...

This paper provides a new foundation of soft drink taxation. We abstract from externalities and internalities previously used to justify such taxation and, instead, emphasize that neither explicit nor implicit markets and prices for sugar content can be expected to emerge. Hence, in the absence...

The aim of the paper is to present the global and Polish sugar balance and the price situation. Several issues have been given particular attention. Firstly, the relationship between the production of sugar and bioethanol in Brazil and world sugar prices. Secondly, the relationship between...

Enzymatic hydrolysis is considered to be a restricted step for lignocellulosic bioethanol production at an industrial scale for its high production costs and low efficiency. In this study, a microreactor loaded with cellulase based on co-deposition of dopamine (DA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI)...

Purpose: Sugar is the most common food product necessary for human life, the main component of which is sucrose and other impurities. The exchange-based nature of the sugar trade makes it easier to enter the market and helps to remove market barriers. The world sugar market is one of the most...

In observing British pound spot prices and European sugar import prices over the 2004–2016 period, an unusually strong currency-commodity correlation is detected and statistically validated. This correlation is the result of a single firm dominating European refining, effectively fixing the...

This paper outlines the salient characteristics of competing models of economic regulation and controls. It then examines the evolution of the American sugar program from 1934 to 1987 in the light of these models. While lobbying and other features of traditional models were clearly important,...

A government clamp-down on sugar would be damaging and unnecessaryGovernment intervention in the market can only be justified if there is a market failure and if government action will make a positive difference. This paper looks at several potential failures in the sugar market. These include...

In March 2016, George Osborne announced a ‘sugar levy’ on soft drink companies to start in April 2018. Under this policy, companies will be taxed on sales of medium and high sugar drinks (excluding fruit juice and milk-based drinks). As an anti-obesity policy, the sugar levy seems arbitrary....

Taxing food and soft drinks in the name of obesity is not a new idea. Dozens of jurisdictions have experimented with such taxes over the years, allowing economists to study their impact. The results have consistently showed the following: demand for sugary drinks, snacks and fatty foods is...

Sugar manufacturing sector is one of the core sectors, which helps to develop the economy by producing and supplying products and service. This sector faces many problems so it affects the performance of the company. It also affects the economic development. The present study focused on the...

"The definitive 2,500-year history of sugar and its human costs, from its little-known origins as a luxury good in Asia to worldwide environmental devastation and the obesity pandemic. For most of history, humans did without refined sugar. After all, it serves no necessary purpose in our diets,...

Domestic sugar demand is important to know as Indonesia now has been the largest economics country in South East Asia. With the world's fourth largest population, Indonesia's sugar demand is certainly fascinating. Therefore, research is needed, what factors influence the demand for Indonesian...

The effect of the United States (US) sugar program on sugar-using firm profitability from 2000 to 2017 is examined using firm financial data and the relative US-to-world sugar price ratio. Return on assets and market-to-book ratio proxy for firm financial performance. The regression results...

We use a Supremum Augmented Dickey-Fuller test to detect price bubbles in the world's most important sugar futures markets (ZCE, NYBOT, and LIFFE) from 2006 to 2017. Results show 19 bubbles with characteristics similar in quantity, duration, and price variation. We explore whether sugar futures...

From 2002 to today, world sugar production has steadily increased due to higher food consumption and biofuel production. Furthermore, in the European Union, the CAP 2014-2020 new reform abolished the system of production and sugar exportation quotas by 1 October 2017. Therefore, since that date,...

This study investigates on the regulation of sugar market price in developing countries. Sugar industry is one of the most regulated industry subjected to import duties, subsidies and quotas. Most of the sugar produced in developing countries is for home consumption that is to satisfy the local...
