The European Union, the world’s largest grower of sugar beets, wants to abolish limits on domestic sugar production in 2015, ending a policy that caused a supply shortage of the sweetener in the bloc this year.
Sugar quotas should expire on Sept. 30, 2015, the European Commission, the EU’s regulatory arm, said today in proposals for the bloc’s future agriculture policy. The quotas now cap how much sugar can be produced for the EU’s domestic market.
