Koen Dillen, Matty Demont, Éric Tollens · 2008 · Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d agroeconomie

Summary. The EU's 2006 sugar market reform reduced adoption incentives for genetically modified sugar beet among high-cost farmers while increasing incentives for medium-cost producers. Low-cost farmers remained largely unaffected. The reform successfully reduced flexibility and competitiveness of high-cost producers, achieving its goal of crowding them out and strengthening the European sugar market's overall competitiveness.
