In the case of the US you cant easily tax sugar production.
The bulk of US sugar comes from "HFCS" (high fructose corn syrup) which is HEAVILY subsidized in the first place.
So taxing something you are subsidizing makes zero sense.
Remove the subsidy and the price of corn will go up, and with it the price of HFCS.
