Abstract
Central America has always been an essential player in the sugar industry, and accounts for roughly one tenth of world production. Mexico and Brazil w ill continue to have a heavy influence on the role of the region in coming years, and the Cuban issue will also loom large. It is thought that Guatema la may benefit greatly from the current sugar situation. With the current u pturn in the sugar market many countries are considering an expansion in su gar production - this may not actually be possible or practical for all, bu t may prove beneficial for some.
