The US is actually one of the worlds top producers of sugar. We make about 65,000,000 pounds of sugarcane a year, plus all the sugar beets we grow. Also, the largest sugar refinery in North America is in Louisiana.

Now the goofball thing is that while it still isn't enough for all the United States, we export thousands of tons. Mostly to Mexico, but also like Canada and Japan, while at the same time we import way more from places like Brazil.
