Abstract
In the 1995–96 season world production of sugar amounted to 126 million tons (Table 15.1), the highest level ever reached.’ Of this total amount, 71 per cent was derived from sugar cane and 29 per cent from sugar beet. Ten years earlier, in 1986–87, there had been a more balanced distribution, with 63 per cent coming from sugar cane and 37 per cent from sugar beet.
