Sugar bounty row clashes with thrift push in Austria
Berlin June 17 The government’s sugar bounty policy faced a sharp counter to its Reichstag argument that higher premiums would spur a global move to abolish bounties. Austria-Hungary raises annual sugar payouts from 5 million to 9 million florins in a Reichsrat bill, effectively extending a one year measure into a likely permanent law. The reform lifts the international sugar tax from 11 to 13 florins per 100 kilograms, squeezing consumers while aiding cheaper sugar supply to US and UK importers.
