In July 2025, Pakistan’s Minister for Food Security announced a major shift toward deregulating the sugar industry, signaling a decisive new sugar policy to address chronic market volatility. This move followed months of consumer frustration over surging prices and intense scrutiny from oversight bodies like the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP).

For decades, government policies have significantly impacted the U.S. food landscape, resulting in high-fructose corn syrup being used over cane sugar due to cost-effectiveness. This shift, accelerated by the 1970s sugar crisis and continued agricultural policies, has permanently altered the American diet and food manufacturing practices.
