Sugar Crops of the World 



Sugar is produced in many countries. It is significant that with all of 

 the stimulus given to the sugar industry during the war, there has been no 

 world overproduction of the commodity. In the following table the pre-war 

 and recent crops of cane and beet sugar are presented:

Production 



The estimated world production of cane and beet sugar for 

 the season of 1921-22 is approximately 1,000,000 tons under 

 the figure for the crop year 1914-15. World production and 

 consumption of sugar have not yet been restored to pre-war standards aside 

 from any allowance for increased demand due to the growth of population. 

 The war stimulus given to the cane industry has not resulted in any great 

 abnormal expansion in physical production. In fact, the statistics show 

 that it has had only a consistent and healthy growth in annual output through- 

 out the entire period.
