Abstract

This case discussed about the effects of subsidy on the demand and supply of sugar in Malaysia.In economics, taxes and subsidies changed the price of goods and, as a result, the quantity supplied and consumed.Due to the huge burden on the country’s finance, the sugar subsidy scheme was no longer sustainable thus, the subsidy reduction by the Malaysian government was essential.This case was targeted to undergraduate as well as postgraduate students who are majoring in Economics.This case allowed students to identify the reasons why Malaysia’ Sugar subsidiary needed a rationalization plan.
