About This Book

De auteur beschrijft een onderzoeksreis naar suiker- en cacaoproducerende koloniën in het Caribisch gebied, waarin economische en industriële toestanden van plantages en suikerfabrieken worden geanalyseerd. Hij behandelt de oorzaken en gevolgen van scherpe prijsdalingen, lokale rampen en kredietproblemen, vergelijkt teelt- en productiemethoden met die van Britse koloniën en doet waarnemingen van havens, arbeidsorganisatie, bestuur en technische verbeteringen in fabriek en veld. De tekst mengt reportagestukken, technische beschrijvingen en beleidsaanbevelingen gericht op het herstel van de landbouwsector.
