Argentine Cane Sugar Production in 

 1920 



The Argentine Director of Rural Econ- 

 omy and Statistics reports that the total 

 area under cultivation of sugar cane during 

 1920 was 233,700 acres. The amount of 

 cane milled was 3,099,722 metric tons, 

 producing 209,553 metric tons of sugar. 

 During the previous year a total of 297,- 

 640 tons was produced. The drop in 

 production during 1920 was due to the 

 snowstorm of July 12th. Most of the sugar 

 was produced in the provinces of Tucuman, 

 Jujuy, Santa Fe and Salta. Small-scale 

 production took place in the Chaco, Cor- 

 rientes, and in the territories of Formosa 

 and Misiones. The annual consumption 

 of Argentina averages 220,000 metric tons. 

 During the six years 1915-1920 Argentina 

 imported 305,913 tons and exported 137,534 

 metric tons of sugar. — Trade Commissioner 

 George S. Brady, Buenos Aires.
