32 THE CUBA REVIEW 
British Sugar Trade 
While in 1913 Europe supplied approximately 75% of the total sugar imported into 
Great Britain during the first eight months of the year, the proportion of this trade in 
1920 had diminished to less than 1%, and in the first eight months of 1921 it was about 
25% of the total imports. 
For the first eight months of 1913 Germany’s share of this trade amounted to about 
40%, Austria-Hungary’s about 25%, Cuba’s approximately 15%, and the Netherlands 
almost 10%. By 1920 the combined imports from Germany, Austria, Hungary and 
the Netherlands, as before stated, were less than 1%, but the imports from Cuba had 
risen to approximately 50%, while imports from the British West Indies, British Guiana 
and British Honduras combined furnished 10%, and Mauritius and the United States 
represented approximately 10% each. 
Beginning with 1921 the trade started to shift Europeward; for the first eight months 
of this vear the imports from the Netherlands approximated 8%, while imports from the 
other countries of Europe amounted to about 17%. Cuba’s share in this period fell to 
about 15%, while imports from Peru, Brazil, Mauritius and the British West Indies, 
British Guiana and British Honduras totaled 40%.
