Abstract

Effect of India's Sugarcane Policy on the Java Trade.--"India's action in directing fresh efforts to the enlargement of its output of white sugar has been interpreed in certain quarters as sounding the death-knell of Java's trade in that quarter.It is not so regarded by the proprietors of the Java's trade in that quarter.It is not so regarded by the properitors of the Java Industry,although they appreciate that if the movement carries far enough it will result in a gradual reduction of their British Indian business,For the nearer future they hold,and this seems to be the sounder view,that the erection of modern factories in the interior of India is likely to result in a rapid expansion of local and internal demand for the products of these mills without greatly diminishing the demand in the principal ports for imported sugar.Thus, they anticipate the development of consumption in other parts of the Orient can be made to replace a gradual falling off in demand from British India.Nor do those who have is their charge the management of the Java sugar industry consider them selves eliminated as a factor in European sugar markets.They are content to look upon European buisness as the safety valve of their industry,an outlet for limited quantities unassimilated by their industry.an outlet for limited quantities unassimilated by their more important markets in the East,but to this extent they expect toretain their European trade'(Facts about Sugar.Vol.27.No.7,July1932).
