Government Intervention 14

The price of raw sugar recently reached its highest level since 1981 due to problem with
supply. Historically raw sugar has traded at between 10 and 12 US Cent per Pound at the
NEW YORK Bord of Trade, But the price increased to over 18 cents last month.

Growing demand Brazil for sugar to be turned into ethanol for fuel, coupled with a sharp fall
in Indian production have both been factors in the price increase.
Sugar production in india for 2008-09 fell 45 % year due to less rain in the mosoon season
damaging a number of agricultural crops.

The London based international sugar organisation predicts that global consumption of sugar
is likely to outstrip production by 9 million tonnes next year , forcing food companies and
governments to dig into stockpiles , in the US , snack producer including Mars, Nestle and
Krispy Kreme put pressure on the US Government to rlax import controls, warning that
otherwise they might run out of sugar.

Commentators predict that most shoppers will be unaffected because sugar is such a small
part of a consumer’s typical spending in a week that no one will notice an increase in price.

(a) Explain ,using supply and demand analysis , why the price of sugar has been increasing
recently.

(b) Do you think a) The supply and b) the demand for sugar is price elastic or Inelastic?
Justify your Choises.
