Who benefited from the legislation that set target prices on sugar derived from sugar cane

Incomplete question. I inferred you are referring to who benefits from a price ceiling.

Explanation:

Note, target prices or price ceiling usually imply that the price of a particular commodity has a benchmark where it is not allowed to beyond the amount.

For example, if a bag of sugar derived from sugar cane is set by legislation to be $10 from its initial price of $17, it, therefore, means that buyers would be the ones to benefit from the cost savings. However, if in a rare situation the target prices increase from its initial price (let's say from $17 to $22), then it means the producers would have benefitted from the legislation, not the buyers.
