Abstract: The relationship between U.S. and world sugar prices, and U.S. import demand for four categories of sugar‐containing products is examined. Results from econometric estimation indicate that U.S. intervention in the sugar market has helped to increase U.S. imports of some sugar‐containing products, but that increased disposable income has played a more important role. Although some developing countries have benefitted from U.S. sugar policy by increasing their exports of sugar‐containing products to the United States, U.S. sugar policy has helped imports from developed countries proportionately more than those from developing countries as a whole.
