Coca-Cola's potential switch to cane sugar from corn syrup as a sweetener could be costly and detrimental to U.S. farmers, according to industry analysts. Following President Trump's discussions, Coke may adopt cane sugar, though this would require significant supply chain adjustments and increased production costs. Such a transition could lead to job losses in rural communities and impact corn prices adversely. Additionally, while the shift is aimed at catering to consumer demand for healthier options, it may face challenges due to current trade tariffs and existing infrastructure designed for corn syrup.
