10 Import Policy Formulation U.S. U.S.: Avoid the forfeiture of sugar under price support loans, and therefore avoid a cost to the federal treasury Legislative mandates: No cost; Reasonable prices Trade agreements: WTO; CAFTA-DR; NAFTA; Peru / Colombia / Panama Political pressures: Producers; Users; Refiners; Traders; Internal processes: USDA consultation with State, USTR, Commerce, Treasury, OMB, CBP Time constraints: Minimum TRQ before 10/1; No revisions before 4/1 without determination of an emergency Outputs: Raw & specialty sugar TRQs; CQEs
11 Import Policy Formulation - Mexico Mexico: Avoid prices low enough to destabilize market for sugar cane, or high enough to contribute to inflation of basic commodity Legislative mandates: Minimum price for sugar cane Trade agreements: WTO, NAFTA, Guatemala/Honduras, Nicaragua Political pressures: Cane growers, Users, Mills, Traders Internal processes: National Sugar Committee; Department of Economy; Department of Agriculture Time constraints: None Outputs: Economia establishes TRQ
12 Import Decisions 2008 to Present (Table Courtesy LMC International) 23 Import Adjustments Totaling 4,612,002 Tons
13 Complements & Conflicts Complements (What s working): WASDE includes both U.S. & Mexican components Moving towards reliable data on Mexican production and consumption Improved consultation between governments Conflicts (What might work better): Each country s objectives may be different Clarification & harmonization TRQs in Mexico unpredictable; May ignore the US segment of the integrated market Should be based on objective criteria and reliable data about conditions in both the US and Mexican markets.
14 Future Scenarios How things might go wrong: Lack of consultation Unreliable crop & demand data Historical & projected Lack of coordination Failure to communicate objectives Failure to communicate intentions Failure to identify options for action e.g. TRQ vs. Export Restrictions
15 Future Scenarios How things can go right: Improve & share data Direct, ongoing consultation Crop & market analysis Policy formulation Policy implementation
16 Summary & Conclusions Market integration has occurred Competition for end user volume Price Logistics are in place Administration of import policy is complicated & sensitive Both governments need to be engaged real time
