MARKET FOR SUGAR MACHINERY IN 

 JAMAICA 



Owing to the serious damage caused by the 

 hurricanes of the last three years, which re- 

 sulted in at least a partial destruction of the 

 banana crop, the sugar industry in Jamaica, 

 which was this island's chief source of revenue 

 30 years ago, is coming into its own again. 

 For the past year there has been a great 

 deal of discussion among Jamaican planters 

 concerning the revival of the sugar industry. 

 Several plans have been put forward having 

 to do with the erection of sugar centrals, some 

 of them providing for governmental aid. The 

 erection by private capital of several sugar 

 factories is probable in the very near future. 

 .^This office is in position to state that there 

 is now in Jamaica a splendid opportunity for 

 the sale of sugar-making machinery suitable 



for plants up to 10,000 tons capacity. Cata- 

 logues, literature, etc., from American sugar 

 machinery manufacturers sent to the Kings- 

 ton consulate will be distributed among the 

 persons interested. — Consul C. L. Latham, 

 Kingston.
