THE CUBA REVIEW 



International Trade in Sugar 



A table giving the sugar imports and exports of the most important countries of 

 the world for a series of years, prepared by the Department of Agriculture for 

 publication in its forthcoming Yearbook, is printed below, with the addition by the 

 Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the 1921 figures that can be obtained 

 and of certain figures for 1920 that have recently become available. The 1921 figures 

 include the biggest exporting countries; and the total given for exports, therefore, 

 represents a very large percentage of the world export trade in sugar for that year. 

 Other 1921 figures will be published as they are received, so that they can be filled in 

 on the table by those who are interested. 



The following table shows the amount of sugar imported and exported by the 

 countries most concerned in the sugar trade, in 1909-1913 (average), 1918, 1919, and 

 1920, and in 1921 so far as the figures for that year are obtainable: 



International trade in sugar. 



The following kinds and grades have been included under the head of sugar: Brown, white candied, caramel, chancaea (Peru), crystal 

 cube, maple, muscovado, panela. The following have been excluded: "Candy" (meaning confectionery), confectionery, glucose, 

 grape sugar, jaggery, molasses, and sirups.]
