American Sugar Alliance Congratulates Doug Burgum on Confirmation as Secretary of the Interior

On behalf of the nation's sugarbeet and sugarcane farmers and workers, the American Sugar Alliance issued the following statement on Doug Burgum's confirmation as Secretary of the Interior:

" The American Sugar Alliance congratulates Doug Burgum on his confirmation as Secretary of the Interior. His leadership will be essential to ensuring that America's farmers have the resources they need to succeed. As the former governor of North Dakota, home to the Red River Valley, the largest sugarbeet-production region in America, we know Secretary Burgum understands how important domestic sugar production is to ensure a reliable supply of a critical ingredient and to strengthen our national food security. We look forward to working with him to address the challenges facing rural communities and advancing policies that put America's farmers first."

America's sugar producers are proud to support more than 151,000 jobs coast to coast, drive $23.3 billion in annual economic impact, and provide a steady, affordable supply of made-in-America sugar. American sugarbeet and sugarcane farmers and workers supply approximately 75% of the sugar consumed nationwide
