| Description | Report based on recommendation of the West Indian Food Products Sub-Committee. Expresses the Committee's indebtedness to the Jamaica Agricultural Society; notes that there has been an increase in acreage of ordinary potatoes in the UK, which could be used [dried and milled] in the same way as sweet potatoes, and that it would be better to use shipping tonnage for products not available from home -- cannot recommend using spare land in Jamaica for sweet potato production at this point -- suggests that more shipments of the sweet potato flour made from different varieties be sent, to test its keeping properties and baking uses. |
