How Fiji's sugar industry started
A valuable source book on the sugar industry of Fiji, which is now nearly a century old, was recently made available to the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau for microfilming, by Mr. J. C. Potts, an official of the Colonial Sugar Refining Co.
The book, 85 typewritten fool scap pages, is a compilation of extracts on the sugar industry from The Fiji Times from 1869 to 1886.
Mr. Potts made the extracts some years ago in preparing a paper on the early history of Fiji’s sugar industry for the Fiji Society. The paper was pub lished in the society’s transac tions for 1959.
