Summary

Sugar Supply Stabilization Act of 1987 - Amends the Food Security Act of 1985 and the Agricultural Act of 1949 with respect to price support levels for crops of sugar beets and sugarcane. Reduces the sugar support price progressively over crop years from 18 cents per pound in 1986 to 12 cents per pound in 1991 and thereafter. Increases the annual import quota applicable to sugars, syrups, and molasses derived from sugarcane or sugar beets by 500,000 tons per year for 1989 through 1992. Repeals provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985 that authorize the President to take certain actions to prevent sugar loan forfeitures. Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a study and report to specified congressional committees concerning means of reducing the difference between the loan rate and the market stabilization price by using alternative methods for determining transportation differentials, regional loan rates, and the market stabilization price of sugar.
