Carter urged to cut sugar imports and raise prices
President Carter faces pressure from Agriculture Secretary Bergland to slash sugar imports from seven million tons to about 4.3 million annually, a move supporters say would lift U.S. prices for growers and may raise retail sugar costs for families by about 16 dollars yearly. The plan hinges on a 60 day decision window after the U S International Trade Commission's recommendation, with refiners urging hearings to explore legislation.
