Trump's Cane Sugar Plan Sparks Industry Concerns and Market Fluctuations

U.S. corn producers warn that President Trump's push for Coca-Cola to switch from corn syrup to cane sugar could harm American agricultural jobs and industry, despite Coca-Cola's ambiguous response. The move could increase demand for imported cane sugar, impacting domestic farmers and the broader industry, but experts suggest the overall effect on corn syrup demand might be limited due to its small share in the market. The debate is also influenced by political and trade considerations, including longstanding sugar tariffs and lobbying efforts.
