  • The U.S. sweetener market is the largest and most diverse in the world.
  • The United States is the largest consumer of sweeteners, including high fructose corn syrup, and is one of the largest global sugar importers.
  • The United States ranks among the top sugar producers, and is one of the few countries with significant production of both sugarbeets and sugarcane.
