TO FOOD, AND NATIONAL EDITORS:
Statement of Corn Refiners Association President & CEO John W. Bode on
the U.S. Sugar Industry's Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duty
Petitions
WASHINGTON, April 18, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "American Big
Sugar is the sole beneficiary of the only U.S. agriculture program
that has not been reformed in modern times, a program that cost
taxpayers $259 million in subsidies that went into Sugar's pockets
over last year alone. In these circumstances it is irresponsible for
them to assert that unfair foreign competition has depressed U.S.
sugar prices at a time when imports declined and domestic production
surged."
The Corn Refiners Association (CRA) is the national trade association
representing the corn refining industry of the United States. CRA and
its predecessors have served this important segment of American
agribusiness since 1913. Corn refiners manufacture sweeteners,
ethanol, starch, bioproducts, corn oil and feed products from corn
components such as starch, oil, protein and fiber.
