We have not been able to derive exact recovery rates for different types of citrus, and
in Table 15b only the input of fresh citrus to processing firms is shown. Unfortunately
no total product figures are available from processors, and as a considerable quantity
enters home consumption we would not take exports as indicative of total supplies.

 Cornmeal is manufactured in most parts of the West Indies, and the recovery rate
varies from 50 % to 70 %. No change in this rate is predicted.

 Considering products now which enter into a rather more advanced stage of manufac-
ture, but whose main raw material is one of the products with which we are concerned,
the most important are rum, condensed and evaporated milk, and oils and soaps.

 Rum is not manufactured directly from sugar syrups except in some of the smaller
territories. It is manufactured from molasses, a by-product of sugar. Therefore, rum
does not compete with other end uses of sugar except in the sense that the greater the
factory efficiency achieved, the less molasses may be available for making rum. We do
not, however, conclude that this trend, which is a long term one, will materially affect
supplies of rum within this period.

 Condensed and evaporated milk is made in Jamaica at a condensery which was set up
in 1940 to provide an outlet for local milk and to replace part of the large importation of
this product. In 1957 a ban on the importation of milk and butterfat solids for manufac-
ture was lifted, and the condensery was able to increase output by using imported raw
materials. Sweetened condensed milk also utilises sugar and each 14 oz. tin contains
the equivalent of 6oz. of sugar Pnd 1.7 pints of standard full-cream liquid milk. Thus in
1960 approximately 12 million pounds of sugar were utilised by the condensery.

 Oils and fats products rank among the more important secondary products produced
 in the West Indies from local raw materials. Table 18c indicates the production in
 Jamaicia, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and all territories, of the main final products
 soaps and edible fats and oils. Greater factory efficiency has improved recovery
 rates, and has enabled higher value products, such as toilet soaps, to be manufactured.
 There are also industries utilising vegetable fats which further other secondary processes
 lor making such products as shampoos, toothpastes and cosmetics. We have included the
 main products only in this table. Projections of total supplies, Table 18d, are based on
 hi- assumption that factory capacity will be expanded to meet the demand, and imported
 t.ye-t;ble oils will be utilised if local supplies are not forthcoming;

 .\part from the condensery and rum manufacture, other manufacturing enterprises
 il. u;etilise sugar as an input. Exact quantities are not available, but from our input-
 ,itpt table on Jamaica, Table 3. e.i, we see that in 1958 J1,042,000 was spent on sugar
 n;,ducts bh the food manufacturing sector (which includes the condensery but excludes
 hI, rumin industry) at the local price of approximately JE36 per ton. This would account
 W" about 29,000 tons of sugar. In Trinidad and Tobago approximately BWI$2,600,000
 .,.oth of sugar for use as raw material was bought by the manufacturing sector in 1959.
 1.id of the industries utilising sugar products are small confectioneries and other food
 it<. Substantial quantities are also used by manufacturers ofalcoholic andnon-alcoholic
