Show BEET AND CANE SUGAR the worlds sugar production and consumption 1800 1000 1 is the of a monograph just issued by the treasury bureau of statistics it discusses the sugar production and consumption of the world during the past century and especially during abe last half can tury in which the burden of augur pro has been transferred from cano to the sugar bc t and in which the world liaa so largely increased its consumption of sugar the worlds sugar production has grown from tons in 1810 to tons in 1000 during the same period the world population has grown according to the beat estimates from to about thue augar production has increased about per cent while population was increasing but about 50 per cent i coming nearer home and considering the United states alone it i found that tho consumption of sugar which in 1850 wae only 22 coundi per capita was in 1901 over ca pounds per capita one especially striking fact shown by the statistics presented in this study is the rapidly increasing proportion of the world enlarged sugar consumption which ie supplied by beet according to the figures presented by study beets which supplied in 1840 less alian per cent of the worlds sugar in 1000 supplied 07 per cent of the greatly increased consumption while cane which supplied 95 per cent of the worlds sugar consumption now supplies but 33 per cent stated tn quantities it a be eaid that the worlds cano sugar supply has grown from tons in 1840 to tons in 1000 en in cresap of per cent while that of has grown from tons in 1610 to tons in 1000 an increase of per cent the figures above quoted include that portion which enters into the worlds record of sugar production end does not include alie large quantities of jaane sugar produced in india and china exclusively for homo consumption and in a considerable number of the tropical countries docs not include that portion of the sugar consumed at home even if these figures of cano sugar production for home consumption were obtainable the production fro beete would still show a much rapid growth during the list half century than that from cane thie ap pr etly ie due to two great causes 1 the elimination of slavery in abe trop ci NIC seat of the principal sugar pro anda the intelligent study of vhf t A and government aid to he production of beet sugar jn the temperate zone especially in countries one effect 0 this enormous increase awl tho competition chich lias accompanied the developments above alluded to lias been a great reduction in to tho consumer the figures of the bureau of statistics obtained from statements supplied by of ali fj cost in foreign countries of alie sugar which they import show that alie average cost of alie sugar imported in wae per pound and in the year per pound the sugar production of france lias grown from metric tons in alie sugar year 1839 40 to tons in 1809 1000 that of germany from 12 metric tons in 1839 40 to tons in 1900 1001 austria hungary from metric torn in 1853 54 alie earliest date for which figura s are obtainable tai to tons in 1899 1000 cussia from metric tons in to tons in 1899 1000 belgium from metric tons in that year to tons in 1899 1000 holland from 1000 metric tons in ca to tons in 1899 1000 turning to the cane sugar producing areas in the statistics are not available for so long a period it is found that alio exports from the philippine islands increased from metric tons in 1849 to metric tons in from cuba the exports in 1860 were tons and in 1894 in hawaii the production has grown from torn in 1875 to tons in 1899 java produced in 1884 tons and in 1001 tons and brazil chichi in 1834 produced tons produced in 1901 tons |
