In the case of certain countries for which trade returns covering the entire year 

 1921 are not yet available, it has been possible to get figures for a part of the year. 

 These partial returns of the imports and exports of sugar for 1921 are shown in the 

 following table, with the periods to which they refer:

Austrian Sugar Output in 1921-22 



Production of raw sugar in Austria dur- 

 ing the 1921-22 campaign amounted to 

 16,322 metric tons, or about 30 per cent. 

 of the pre-war output, according to the 

 Austrian Sugar Bureau. This sugar was 

 produced by seven factories, of which four 

 are in Lower Austria, producing 13,225 

 tons; one in Upper Austria, 1,218 tons; 

 and two in Burgenland, 1,879 tons. The 

 principal causes for so small an output 

 were the low price for beets established 

 by the Government and the high wages, 

 which had to be paid to Czecho-Slovak 

 seasonal workers in Czech crowns. There- 

 fore, it was more profitable for the Aus- 

 trian farmers to grow grain and potatoes 

 than sugar beets. 



Austria's yearly requirements of sugar 

 amount to about 110,000 metric tons. The 

 home production in 1921-22 was hardly 

 15 per cent, of this, and the rest was im- 

 ported chiefly from Czecho-Slovakia. Con- 

 sumption of imported sugar varies in ac- 

 cordance with the price, which in turn is 



largely controlled by the rate of exchange.

Second Crop Estimate of Java Sugar 



The second crop estimate made by the 

 Java Sugar Producers' Association of the 

 amounts of various grades of sugar to be 

 produced in 1922 (April to November) by 

 members of the syndicate is as follows 

 (given in piculs of 136 pounds): 



Piculs 



Superior head sugar 13,076,779 



Superior soft sugar 323,810 



Channels (head sugar No. 16 higher) 4,740,785 



Muscavados 119,344 



Optional , head sugar or muscavados . 5,711 ,985 

 Molasses sugar 280,867 



Total 24,253,570 



The estimated production of sugar of 

 all grades by factories not members of 

 the sugar syndicate is 3,042,249 piculs. 

 This gives a grand total of 27,295,819 

 piculs, or 1,657,246 long tons.
