EU Sugar Policy

The EU Sugar Policy aims to regulate the production and sale of sugar to ensure fair prices for farmers, prevent market surpluses, and maintain stable supplies. It historically included measures like setting price supports and production quotas to protect farmers and stabilize the market. However, reforms over recent years have reduced intervention, allowing more market-driven pricing while encouraging a transition to a more open and competitive sugar sector within the EU. The policy balances supporting farmers with market sustainability, aligning with broader EU agricultural and trade objectives.
