The paper deals with problems concerning the current sugar policy within the Common
Agricultural
Policy, especially the efficiency losses due to the combination of high prices and
quota on
subsidised sugar production. Based on a simple econometric model, the total economic
costs of the
current policy setting, compared with an unregulated setting, are estimated to be
in the area of 20
per cent of the total sugar production, valued at world market prices. Of these costs,
some 10 per
cent are due to inefficiency in the crop production, as the opportunity costs of
land are not taken
into account because the sugar price support within the quota overrules these opportunity
costs.
However, according to the estimates obtained in the present study, the main economic
gains by
reducing the internal prices are to be found in terms of reduced consumer costs rather
than
improved efficiency in land use.
