Author Description

Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture Circular: July 1971 Argentina. Sugar production in 1970-71 reached its highest level since 1966-67. Argentina's sugar output is restricted since stocks reached burdensome propor tions in the mid-l96o's. Production quotas are allocated each year, based on estimates of domestic requirements and export needs. In 1970-71, the sugar quota of metric tons was not met due to drought and frost damage and below-normal sucrose content in the cane. The production quota for next year has been set at tons. Brazil. The production of centrifugal sugar in 1970-71 is estimated at an in crease of 18 percent over the previous year, setting a new record. This is a result of ideal growing conditions during the sugarcane season. It is esti mated that only 60 percent of Brazil's sugarcane production goes into sugar while the remainder is used for liquor, animal feed, and alcohol.
