“…For a similar increase in the world price, Wohlgenant (1999) found that EU production increases by 2 per cent and that the EU remains a net exporter of 2.5 million tonnes. Poonyth et al (2000) also found that EU production is barely affected by the reduction in the intervention price required to export without subsidies and that, overall, EU exports would remain relatively stable. In contrast, OECD (2005) reported that EU production would decrease by some 60 per cent under their trade liberalisation scenario and according to Adenäuer et al (2004), exports would decrease significantly if export subsidies were phased out.…”

We investigate the possible linkages between the EU sugar production under quota and the supply of C sugar. We calibrate the implicit cross-subsidy between in-quota sugar and out-of-quota sugar. The resulting supply specification is included in a computable general equilibrium model of the EU economy detailing the agricultural sector. We simulate the effects of the 2006 reform of the EU sugar regime and the effects of a ban on sugar export subsidies. Results suggest that the reform makes it possible to fill the requirements of the 2005 World Trade Organisation panel but that further adjustment will be needed to eliminate all export subsidies as is scheduled for 2013.

“…The EU supports sugar with US$201 million and cereals with US$108 million. Indeed, the EU sugar market had been one of the most heavily regulated markets in the agrifood sector for 50 years (Poonyth et al 2005), until the EU quota regime ended in September 2017. It is important to note that the EU, being a large importer of cane sugar, grants duty-free access to the EU market to developing countries under the Everything but Arms agreement.…”

Note: Main cereals and cassava include the entire cassava/maize/rice/wheat commodities; Vegetable oils include groundnuts/palm/rapeseeds/soy oils; in each of the three value chains, we include unprocessed, semi-processed, and processed commodities. For each series, the linear trend line has been added. Second, these three value chains are major foods in terms of kCal/person/day: in four populous African countries (Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa), they represent between 38.4 percent and 71.8 percent of the total food supply in kCal/person/day (see Table 4.1). 3 Table 4.1 Food supply by value chain, in primary crop equivalent (kCal/person/day

“…The EUs export supply expansion, generated by a technology‐induced pivotal shift of the EUs aggregate supply function, would cause the world price to decline from p j (0) to p j ( ρ EU ). This price decrease is determined using a reduced‐form equation, extracted from the University of Missouri's FAPRI world sugar model, which calculates the world sugar price as a function of actual and lagged EU net sugar exports (Poonyth et al 2000). 6 For each year j the reduced‐form equation transforms the observed world price into the price that would result from the EUs technology‐induced export expansion in year j and j –1: with σ 1 =−1.0 and σ 2 = 0.46.…”

"In July 2006, the European Union's (EU) Common Market Organization (CMO) for sugar underwent the first radical reform since its establishment in 1968. In this article, we study the incentives for adoption of new technologies before and after the policy reform. We build a stochastic partial equilibrium model and use it to analyze the effect of the policy reform on the adoption incentives of genetically modified herbicide tolerant sugar beet. Our findings show that the adoption incentives of high-cost sugar beet farmers are significantly reduced under the new CMO. Medium-cost producers, in contrast, have greater incentives to adopt new technologies, while low-cost producers are largely left unaffected. The reduced adoption incentives of high-cost farmers lead to lower flexibility and competitiveness of these farmers and therefore coincides with the goals of the reform to crowd out high-cost producers and increase competitiveness of the European sugar market."
