biggest question with Williams is whether he can be an effective blocker in the NFL.

On the positive end of the spectrum, Williams is a more than willing blocker who typically sustains his blocks well. He has shown some ability, like he did on the following 20-yard touchdown run by Minnesota running back Rodrick Williams Jr., to stick a block in space downfield and take his opponent out of a running play.

Williams is not a consistently great blocker in space, however, and he is not a people-mover at the line of scrimmage. He lacks the power to drive bigger defenders away from runs, and that can lead to plays getting stacked up behind him, like the following tackle for loss by Michigan against running back David Cobb.

Ultimately, Williams isremained profitable
enough to pay farmers for cane. Chinese cane prices are among the highest in the world.

However, Brazil has challenged the Chinese administration of their sugar imports at the WTO so it looks as though China will
now relax its import restrictions in 2019.

The government is now looking at ways to directly support cane farmer income through payments, though the Ministry of Finance
has not yet decided how this should actually work in practice. Regardless, from a farmer point of
view the price signal to grow less cane is lost.

Beet growers in North-Western Europe are among the most efficient sugar producers in the world. Nevertheless, major producers
have reported losses in 2018. The European market was deregulated in late 2017 and domestic market
prices followed the world market lower.
