32 THE CUBA REVIEW 
SUGAR EXPORTS FROM CUBA TO UNITED STATES 
The increased price of sugar accounted for the large increases in the value of 
the declared exports from Cuba to the United States during the past year, as com- 
pared with 1919. The total exports and the exports of sugar from the various consular 
districts in that country during 1919 and 1920 are shown in the following table:

EUROPEAN SUGAR PROSPECTS 
To quote from the Stock Exchange 
Gazette (London) : 
In the beet countries of Europe there 
is every probability of increasing yields 
of sugar, but respecting cane sugar there 
is more uncertainty. German raw sugar 
factories are fully occupied, and the qua)- 
ity of the harvested beet is stated to be, 
on average, better than last year. A 
yield of 22 to 23 million hundredweight 
of sugar appears certain—an increase of 
6 to 7 millions over 1919. This yield, 
however, will not obviate the necessity of 
Germany continuing to import sugar for 
its own needs. 
In Australia also there is prospect of a 
good harvest, but here, again, domestic 
requirements will not be 
out imports. 
vest is estimated to reach 17 to 18 million 
hundredweight, a result which will per- 
mit between 9 and 10 millions being ex- 
ported; it is stated that contracts for 
satisfied with- 
In Czechoslovakia the har- 
the sale are now being made. In Jugo- 
slavia the Government has established a 
monopoly for financial reasons and be- 
cause of insufficient home production. 
Hungary anticipates an improved crop, 
which, however, will not obviate the 
necessity of imports. 
Poland should have 1 to 2 million hun- 
dredweight for export. In Scandinavian 
countries a sufficiency for domestic con- 
sumption is expected, but no surplus, and 
the same conditions apply to Holland and 
Belgium. The production of France is 
estimated to reach 6 million hundred- 
weight, against 34% millions last year; 
I'rance, however, requires 18 million hun- 
dredweight annually. Italy and Spain 
will produce enough for their needs. 
In England large contracts for cane 
sugar have been made, there has been a 
reduction in price, the retail sale of Goy- 
ernment sugar has been extended, free 
sugar is allowed an open market, and 
control will probably cease at an early 
date.
