Abstract

The major supply response in the domestic cane sugar industry would occur at raw sugar prices between $9.00 and $16.00 per hundredweight. At prices below $9.00, not very much cane sugar production is profitable in the long run. At prices above $16.00, most of the sugarcane production that is technically feasible is profitable. Present production of about 3 million tons of raw sugar could be maintained in the long run at a raw sugar price of approximately $14.00 per hundredweight. Regional production patterns, however, would change at this price. Florida and Texas production would increase, while Hawaiian production would probably decrease. Louisiana production would remain about the same.
