CHAPTER Vn 



THE SUGARPLANTING INDUSTRY 



There are seven sugar-factories at work iu the 

 Province of Mozambique : one at Inhambane, 

 two on the Buzi River in the Mozambique Com- 

 pany's territory, three on the River Zambezi, and 

 one at Inhamacurra, Quelimanc. There is another 

 small one at Inhambane, but its operations as 

 yet are too small for serious consideration here. 

 Only approximate figures can be given of the 

 total output of sugar for the year 1911, as they 

 were supplied in each case before the season's 

 crop came to an end ; but they represent within 

 a few hundred tons what the actual output of the 

 season amounted to : —
