Sugar Supply May Rise to 95 Pounds per Person
The United States seeks enough of this year’s world sugar supply to average 95.1 pounds per person for both individuals and industry. Last year consumption averaged 73 pounds, with 25 pounds allotted to individuals and the rest to industrial users such as candy makers, bottlers, and bakers. The request was presented to the International Food Emergency Council, which assesses export food shares among importing nations. The council’s report pegs the 1947 world sugar supply at 30.1 million short tons with 26.7 million consumed, while prewar use averaged 32.5 million tons.
