Corn Refiners Oppose Proposed Real Sugar Deal

Corn refiners are siding with the Bush Administration on a deal that would help keep U.S. sugar programs competitive.

The deal proposes to limit imports of Mexican sugar, but corn refiners “fear a backlash” that would harm their export of corn sweeteners to Mexico.

I don’t know, it sounds like a good deal to me. Anything that keeps real sugar competetive and helps limit the spread of corn sweeteners seems like a good thing.
