Sugar Ration Review Aims At Higher Canadian Share
Ottawa reports the International Emergency Food council will meet in Washington at month end to decide sugar allotments for 1947. The council, successor to wartime boards, includes about twenty nations but excludes Russia. Prospects point to a per person allotment around 75 to 80 pounds, still below prewar levels. Canada’s 1946 allotment was 504,000 tons and beet sugar production rose sharply, with 1946 exports and domestic sales framing the ration picture. World quotas show the United States leading, followed by the United Kingdom and Canada.
