THE CUBA REVIEW 



37 



industria del azucar de remolacha hizo su mayor progreso en las tarifas sobre azucar que 

 no pasara de 1.348c. y Ic. la libra por azucar de Cuba polarizacion 96 grados, y segiin eso 

 nos parece que no debiera sostenerse el alto derecho actual de 1.60c. excepto durante la 

 actual emergencia. 



Desde nuestra ultima revista hemos emitido nuestra estadistica acerca del consume 

 de azucar en los Estados Unidos, mostrando un aumento de solamente la mitad de 1% 

 por el ano pasado, o sea 4,107,328 toneladas contra 4,084,672 toneladas en 1920. 

 Calculamos el consumo por persona en 84.87 libras. De este consumo total de azucar, la 

 cantidad de azucar de Cuba ascendio a 1,866,153 toneladas, de Puerto Rico a 373.762 

 toneladas, de Hawaii a 482,322 toneladas, y de azucar de remolacha de los Estados 

 Unidos a 946,977 toneladas.

Sugar Export Corporation 



To promote export trade in refined sugar 

 there has been formed a "Sugar Export 

 Corporation," under act of Congress 

 known as "The Webb Act." All refiners 

 engaged in export have been invited to 

 become members. 



The Export Company starts with a con- 

 tract with leading Cuban producers, on 

 the same terms as were recently offered to 

 all Cuban producers through their Sugar 

 Finance Commission. The transaction is 

 purely commercial, free of any artificial 

 control. 



The United States and Cuba possess the 

 finest sugar industry in the world. With 

 the support of Washington by giving per- 

 mission, as proposed, to refine in bond, the 

 industry, through the Export Corporation, 

 will be in position to compete successfully 

 in the markets of the world. 



20.000 tons less than the last crop. The 

 final figure for 1921 has not been reported 

 officially as yet, however, as several mills 

 were still grinding old crop sugar when the 

 new year opened. Up to September 30, 

 1921, the usual official date for the closing 

 of the campaign, 481,425 tons of sugar had 

 been produced: but owing to the dry 

 weather and the scarcity of labor, the actual 

 1920-21 crop will be considerably larger 

 than this figure. 



The 1921-22 crop production is estimated 

 at 171,518 tons on the Island of Hawaii, 

 108,303 tons on Maui, 97,678 tons on 

 Oahu and 87,678 tons on Kauai. 



The December weather favored the 

 progress of the crop, generous rains toward 

 the close of the month relieving the earlier 

 dryness. In some sections of the Island of 

 Hawaii, however, too much rain has fallen.

Hawaii 



The production of the new Haw-aiian 

 crop, which has already had a good start, 

 is estimated at 465,179 tons, or about 



Java 



During the Java campaign of 1921, Dr. 

 H. C. Prinsen Geerligs reports, 185 fac- 

 tories worked the cane from 396,000 acres 

 of land and produced 1,644,638 metric 

 tons of sugar, or somewhat more than the 

 1,543,923 tons produced in 1920. The 

 production of the Planters' Association 

 follows, in tons of 2,205 lbs. Tons 



Sugar, white 827,000 



Sugar, raw 98° 409,000 



Sugar, raw 96.5° 217,000 



After Products 48,000 



Total 1,501,000 



The next crop beginning in May, 1922, 

 is expected to be about the same size as 



the last.
