To make matters worse, what is being imported from Brazil is bulk raw sugar, which -- as we all know -- is unfit for human consumption until it is processed. Since when did we acquire the capacity to process and refine the 100,000 tons of raw sugar the greedy merchants are importing. Mind you, raw bulk sugar is handled in a very unhygienic way. Indeed, the deluge of Brazilian raw sugar right now is bound to disrupt the sugar supply chain in major ways. It is the poor cane farmer who will ultimately bear the brunt of the market disruption caused by imports of bulk raw sugar from Brazil.
