"Soft drink manufacturers are mandated by law to source an increasing proportion of their sugar from certified organic farms. Organic sugar producers charge a premium for their sugar due to the restricted supply of organically farmed land."
It can be deduced from the text above that:
the government directly subsidizes the organic sugar farmers to encourage production.
the social benefit of consuming organic sugar is lower than the private benefits to consumers.
the government is imposing a tariff on imported non-organic sugar to protect local organic farmers.
soft drink manufacturers are experiencing an increase in the average cost of sugar because a portion of their supply must be sourced from higher-priced organic farms.
