could be protected from sugar imported from Brazil, the United States would have higher domestic sugar

production, more jobs in the sugar industry, and American sugar farmers would receive a higher price. If the

United States government sets a high-enough tariff on imported sugar, or sets an import quota at zero, the

result will be that the quantity of sugar traded between countries could be reduced to zero, and the prices in

each country will return to the levels before trade was allowed.

Blocking only some trade is also possible. Suppose that the United States passed a sugar import quota of seven

tons. The United States will import no more than seven tons of sugar, which means that Brazil can export no

more than seven tons of sugar to the United States. As a result, the price of sugar in the United States will be 20

cents, which is the price where the quantity demanded is seven tons greater than the domestic quantity
