Abstract


Looking at the surface of things one would wonder if at present there exists any problem associated with our sugar needs. On the other hand, the price of sugar has been going down sometime back and the world is faced with an over-production of this commodity, which recently caused a reference to the League of Nations. The real problem however presents itself when one realises the dependence of India on other countries for the bulk of the supply of this essential article of food. To-day India is dependent upon the outside world for more than 85 per cent. of her needs in sugar, costing sixteen crores of rupees.
