In reference to your enquiry regarding the
Russian sugar imported into Bahrain during the year 19^,
I would remark that this sugar is beet sugar. There is no
regular importer of this commodity, and it was found that the last import
did not compete with the Java sugar, which has become cheaper than before.
The reason why the last import of Russian beet sugar was packed
in trbble gunny bags was that originally it was packed in a single gunny,
but this proved to be so unsatisfactory in texture that two more gunnies
were added to protect the sugar. It is quite possible than if the second
gunny had been made of stronger material, there would have been only
two gunny covers, similar to other packings.

(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 A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. 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 A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. 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.
