A Coalition Built for Political Uncertainty
While we wait for answers on party control of the US House and Senate, here's what we know for certain: Big Sugar is on its heels, with a political landscape that has shifted sharply in favor of industry reform.
Driving that shift are some big changes to American society. These changes include the emergence of movements for social justice (Black Lives Matter), national concern about damage to our natural resources (Florida's toxic algae blooms), and bipartisan anger over political corruption. Simply put, Big Sugar is operating in a world that has changed profoundly in recent years.
