Abstract

Ukraine looks back on a long tradition of producing and exporting sugar. Thus, for many Ukrainians it is beyond question that sugar should and will continue to play a key role in the country’s agriculture. Since the transition period began, however, sugar production in Ukraine has declined dramatically. Sugar refineries are operating at losses and export revenues from sugar have collapsed. Since early 1997, plans to revive the Ukrainian sugar sector via a quota system - not unlike the quota scheme implemented since the late 1960s in the EU - have been proposed and debated in agricultural policy circles. Proponents are convinced that a quota system would allow Ukraine’ s sugar industry to regain its past glory.
