Negative Impact Of The Sugar Cane On The Global Economy
Another negative impact from the sugar is economics. Sugar cane is a crop that impacts the global economy. Right now, the profits from the crop are not being used in a way to benefit the countries that it is produced in. Sugar cane employs many people and it should be explored how it can employ even more people. There are biofuels, feedstock and other bio products made from sugar that is increasing the demand for sugar cane.

    Movie Analysis: Corn Farms

    Corn production has gone up due to the help of ammonia fertilizer. Corn farms do not practice organic agriculture. Crop yield has gone up four times compared to Ian and Curt’s ancestors in the early 1900’s with the help of fertilizers and herbicides to kill the weeds. The government subsidizes large farms to plant on more land and to buy out their neighbors if they do not want to grow crops. Farmers get rewarded for overproduction of cheap corn which keeps the production of corn going on full blast. Majority of the corn produced gets fed to animals or us in the form of high fructose corn syrup which is empty calories. Due to consolidation of family farms into large farming operations, the consumers are harmed while the cooperation benefit because they get cheap corn produced in surplus to turn into high fructose corn syrup or feed to sell to livestock producers. Consumers are harmed because more high fructose corn syrup is being produced and put into the foods we consume on a daily basis. Corn is in everything that we consume, such as sodas and hamburgers. High fructose corn syrup has adverse effects such as a higher risk of acquiring type 2 diabetes and obesity. The table sugar consumption has decreased, but high fructose corn syrup consumption has increased by 30% because it is cheaper to buy and produce. In the late 1980’s high fructose corn syrup has taken over half of the sweetener…

    Baseball and Nike

    In the present day there are some products that Nike would not have to do and at the same time do very well. One of their brands is Air Jordan, and in my opinion Nike is able to go without this brand. Having a sub brand under their big Nike one is economically right, as both Nike and Air Jordan are producing the same products for the same sport. Therefore since they make very similar products Air Jordan should merge together with Nike and that way it will be better for their economy. Nike is also a producer of baseball equipment. One of the products that they could eliminate is the production of baseball gloves because it has barley part in this market as Rawlings dominates most of the baseball glove market. And Nike is not a huge competitor against them since there are bigger companies that could challenge them but Nike is not one. That was they will save money on the production of these baseball gloves that do not sell well. Similarly, Nike also produces tennis clothing and shoes. But these products are extremely similar to the ones under their running products, similarly to the Air Jordan situation. Once again it would be better economically to merge these two brands together to increase the profit of Nike as a whole.…

    Sugar Nation Controversy

    “How far should the Government go to protect us from ourselves?” (Huffingtonpost.com). That is a question some New Yorkers have been asking themselves since September 13th, 2012, when the New York City board of public health officially put into effect a ban of selling sugary, soft drinks over 16 ounces (about half a liter). This soda ban has divided the city separating residents into two distinct views. Will this new ban benefit New York City and create yet another stepping stone against the obesity epidemic, or is it an unnecessary abuse of power by the government, that is unfair to big corporations and businesses?…

    food scarcity in haiti

    For instance, the expense for production of Haitian sugar was about three times higher than the global price during the 1980s. Changes within the sugar market which were mostly caused by the global replacement of corn-based fructose for sugarcane, put even more pressure and strain on Haitian producers. One consequence of this circumstance was the engagement of importing sugar, which was then re sent to the United States under the Haitian sugar quota. Unfortunately, the reductions within…

    Study on green innovation opportunities for future growth in sugar industry in India

    Sugar is a sector of significant importance to the national economy. While consumption has been growing historically, the production has been cyclical. At present, the sugar industry is regulated across the value chain. Investments in by-products are at a nascent stage, and the sector has struggled to generate a return on invested capital in excess of its cost of capital in most years, primarily due to a high mandated fixed cane price and a volatile sugar price. Sugarcane is primarily grown in nine states of India: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. More than 50 million farmers and their families are dependent on sugarcane for their livelihood. The sugar industry caters to an estimated 12 percent of rural population in these nine states through direct and indirect employment. Effectively, each farmer contributes to the production of 2.9 MT of sugar every year.…
