The Caribbean's history is inseparable from sugar, and the crop is
still an important feature in the economics of many islands, from
Cuba to Barbados. In Jamaica entire communities depend on the sugar
industry, earning a precarious living on old-fashioned plantations.
What is life like on a sugar plantation at the end of the 20th
century? What will happen if the sugar industry collapses? How do
the poverty-stricken cane-cutters of rural Jamaica fit into this
global industry? This work looks at the world sugar business,
identifying the key players - producers, markets and transnational
companies - and explaining how the industry works. It explores the
economics and politics of trading arrangements, the mysteries of
the futures market and the technology of sugar production. Based on
interviews with traders, buyers and producers, it follows the
commodity's progress from canefield to sugar bowl. The book finally
assesses the future of sugar, both in Jamaica and the wider world,
and considers future options for those still ruled by "King Sugar".
