Exportation of Cuban Products 
Exports of Cuban products during 1919-20 were valued at $855,138,341 against 
$470,259,162 in 1918-19, an increase of 82 per cent. The price of Cuban sugar was 
the chief cause of this gain, this article having been marketed at an average of $0.08 
per pound, the maximum cost during the year being $0.235 and the minimum $0.035, 
but the proportion of the sugar crop sold at the highest price was relatively small. 
The increase of 82 per cent in the exports represents $376,000,000 worth of sugar 
and honey, $13,500,000 worth of tobacco, and the remainder in lesser proportions dis- 
tributed over other exports of enhanced value, with the exception of mineral products, 
which diminished by $3,600,000. 
The balance of trade during the fiscal year was in Cuba’s favor, the exports having 
been greater in value than the imports by $419,000,000, or 321% per cent of the total 
foreign commerce. 
The following table shows the total exports from Cuba and the exports to the 
United States and the United Kingdom by classes of commodities for 1918-19 and
