The United States consumed 10,548,451,- 

 000 pounds'^ of sugar in the fiscal year 

 ended June 30, 1921. or 28.4 per cent of the

 in 1920 and is 25.9 per cent larger than the 

 average consumption for the 10-vear period 

 ending 1920 (8,376,936,656 pounds). The 

 per capita consumption in 1921 was the 

 largest in the histor}' of the country, 

 amounting to 97.8 pounds, compared with 

 91.4 pounds in 1920, 85.3 pounds in 1913, 

 and 58.8 pounds in 1900. 



Sugar production in continental United 

 States in 1921 was 2,532,246,160 pounds,*^ 

 an increase of 30.2 per cent over the 1911- 

 1920 average (1,944,565,760 pounds). Do- 

 mestic production supplied 24.1 per cent of 

 consumption in 1921, as compared with 

 17.4 per cent in 1920 and 23.7 per cent in 

 1919. Of the domestic production, cane 



sugar made up 352,204,160 pounds in 192 

 an increase of 45 per cent over 1920, but 

 per cent, less than the average for 1911-19; 

 (504,132,160 pounds). On the other han 

 2,180,042,000 pounds of beet sugar we 

 produced, the largest output in history, ar 

 5 1 per cent, larger than the average for tl 

 10-year period ending 1920 (1,440,433,6( 

 pounds). 



Amount Supplied by Noncontiguoi 

 Territories of U. S. 



The noncontiguous territories of tl 

 United States supplied 2,132,926,730 pounc 

 of sugar for consumption in this countr 

 in 1921, which is verv near the average fc 

 1911-1920 (2,099,446,651 pounds). Th 

 amount supplied by the territories in 192 

 was 20.2 per cent of the American domesti 

 consumption for that year, compared wit 

 19.9 per cent in 1920. ' 



Of the amount supplied by noncontiguou 

 territories, 977,738,902 pounds came fror 

 Hawaii, 818,043,880 pounds from Port 

 Rico, and 337,143,948 pounds from th 

 Philippine Islands. This represents a sligh 

 decrease from 1920 in the case of Hawaii am 

 Porto Rico, but an increase of more thai 

 600 per cent, from the Philippines. Thi 

 large percentage of increase from th' 

 Philippines was due to the fact that receipt

 small (45,387,719 pounds) and the amoun 

 in 1921 unusually large.
