International Sugar Agreement
Appearance
The International Sugar Agreements and similarly named agreements were a series of International treaties that attempted to establish an "orderly relationship between the supply and demand for sugar in the world market." They eventually established the International Sugar Organization.
Agreements
[edit]There have been a number of sugar agreements:
- 1937 International Agreement regarding the Regulation of Production and Marketing of Sugar, and Protocol (London, 6 May 1937) that established in Article 2 to "always to assure consumers of an adequate supply of sugar on the world market at a reasonable price not to exceed the cost of production, including a reasonable profit, of efficient producers". It established an International Sugar Council and set quotas for the International free market of sugar.[1][2]
- 1942 - Protocol to enforce and to prolong the International Agreement regarding the Regulation of Production and Marketing of Sugar of 6 May 1937 (London, 22 July 1942) a wartime treaty that extended the original agreement to 31 August 1944.[3]

It also made parts of the original agreement inoperative, especially the quotas and other restrictions.[4]
