Answer: Highly doubtful.

Explanation:

U.S. sugar protection policies save producers in the U.S. billions of dollars so those companies continually lobby for the government to keep up the policies.

A company such as Jelly Belly is not influential enough to fight off the various sugar interests unless there are other players like Jelly Belly in the game. The text makes no mention of them however so it must just be Jelly Bean and they do not have the influence to get the government to reverse policy.

As a result, of this the equilibrium price of wood beams and the quantity of wood beams will also decrease.
