From 2009 these agreements have increased the quantity of cane sugar which can be imported duty-free.</p><p>EPA negotiations between the EU and Southern Africa were recently concluded and we expect this EPA to provide UK sugar cane refiners with improved access to cane sugar from Swaziland and South Africa. In addition, the recently negotiated EU-Fiji EPA should also allow UK firms to continue to buy duty-free Fijian cane sugar.</p> question first answered 01/10/2014 13:04:43 answering member 4070
