Imported sugar rules market

SEMARANG: Imported sugar from Brazil has prevailed in Central
Java despite a governor's ruling banning the commodity from the
market, an official said on Tuesday.

Soendoro, head of the provincial chamber of commerce, said
that the better quality and lower-priced imported sugar
threatened local sugar producers and he called on the local
authorities to take stern measures against importers.

Soendoro added that the imported sugar was transported to the
province via East Java and Jakarta.(har)
