- Title:
- File 10/21 Enquiries re: sugar-beet
- Scope & Content:
- Papers relating to imports of sugar into Bahrain. The British Agent was keen to promote imports of British sugar beet into Bahrain in the face of foreign competition, particularly from Japan. The file includes a letter from the Political Agent (Percy Gordon Loch) to the Political Resident (Trenchard Craven William Fowle) summarising the position of British beet sugar in relation to its two competitors, Java cane sugar, and Russian beet sugar, which notes that British sugar leaked from the bags and was more subject to deterioration from the dampness of the climate, 8 April 1934; a memorandum by the Vice-Consul, Bushire (Frank H Todd), on the import of British sugar into Bahrain, with covering letter from the Political Resident to the Department of Overseas Trade, London, which recommends improvements to the ways in which British sugar was bagged, 31 December 1935; and correspondence between the Political Resident and the British Sugar Corporation Limited, 1936, in which the Chairman of the British Sugar Corporation states that it was not possible for his company to compete in the Bahrain market, as the whole of the company's output was consumed in the United Kingdom market, and beet sugar suffered from competition with foreign sugar.
