Industry insiders believe that fructose has replaced one-third of Mexico's habitually used sweeteners, resulting in an imbalance in the sugar cane market.
From 2006 to 2014, the consumption of corn syrup or high fructose increased by 98%, from 667,000 tons to 1.
322 million tons.
It is expected that 1.
52 million tons will enter the Mexican market this year, and the export of sucrose to the United States, which represents the balance of the Mexican market, will not exceed 1.
46 million tons, the export of cane sugar exceeded 2 million tons last season.
The price of fructose imported from the United States is lower than the cost of production, causing Mexico to lose 15 billion pesos (about 1 billion US dollars) last year, affecting the interests of 186,000 sugar cane growers.
