Abstract: Excerpts from the report Preface: A large volume of statistics on the United States sugar industry is available in Government reports, trade journals, and private reports. For a better public understanding of one of our important food industries, there is need for a summary of readily available information on production, processing, marketing, and consumption of sugar. The Sugar Research and Marketing Advisory Committee, at its meeting of January 9-11, 1957, recommended that the Department "initiate a study of trends and interrelationships within the sugar industry to supply basic facts relating to beet and sugarcane production, processing, and refining, products and markets, trade channels and prices." This report presents a summary of the domestic sugar industry and some of the more important changes which took place from 1948 to 1957, the latest year for which reasonably complete data are now available.
