| General Note |
- General note - The earliest Philippine sugar imports, about 269,000 lbs., were made to the U. S. in 1775. The most notable advance in the industry, however, came in 1853, when the Crimean War temporarily halted the production of beet sugar in Russia and the West Indies. Foreign investments quickly improved plantations in Pampanga and Batangas and funded the clearing of forests in Tarlac, Negros, Cebu, and Panay. For a time, China was the principal importer of Philippine sugarcane, part of which went to Hong Kong for milling and part to mainland China, where it was consumed in its raw state.
