Sugar (Raw Equivalent), Food Consumption
FAO publishes this commodity's food-balance elements in two domains with different methodologies (historic 1961-2013 vs current 2010-2023); they disagree materially where they overlap, so both are kept as separate labelled series rather than spliced.

2017CorrelationExpected causationRuling No. 48 of the General Board of the Administrative Court of Justice [...] Tax Exemption for Ready-to-Consume Sugar
This ruling by the General Board of the Administrative Court of Justice addresses a tax exemption applicable to ready-to-consume sugar.
Why this link: By lowering the effective consumer price of prepared sugar, this 2017 tax exemption ruling plausibly supports sugar/sweetener consumption levels, though only as one of many price and income drivers.
Caveat: Sugar consumption trends are shaped mainly by income, health policy, and international prices; a single commodity tax exemption cannot be isolated as a driver of the consumption series.
