r mills must pay per ton of cane delivered to the mill by independent cane producers known as "colonos" and this price has been based on the average selling price per quintal of sugar. In the case of the Victoria de Julio Sugar Company it will be necessary to accomplish the following objectives in order to stay viable under present market conditions: IV- 1 -Increase agricultural yields -Reduce the cost of "standing cane" -Reduce agricultural overhead expenses . Increasing cane yields The history of the sugar cane yields at the Victoria de Julio Sugar Company reveals situation that requires careful consi,,ation. The climatic data shows high annual evaporation that would imply potential for high sugar cane yields if cane were adequately supplied with water. Once this problem of water supply is resolved it should be possible to obtain significant increase in cane yield. The black soils of the Victoria de Julio project will require special attention in order to improve productivity. Weed control requires closer supervision to obtain the desired weed-free environment for efficient cane production. New varieties should be introduced and evaluated at the project sight. coordinated national effort is required to catch up in this work that has been apparently neglected for many years. . Reduce cost of "standing cane" more rational use of labor is required to achieve reduction in overall agricultural expenses. The budgeted costs for individual operations for the most part have been maintained as have therefore the labor costs; however, the operations have probably been rationalized and are calculated for the areas to be worked each year. The potential for more appropriately using labor will be examined as scenario in Chapter VII. . Reduce agricultural overhead expenses The staff could also look after services rendered to "colonos" such as land preparation, planting, harvesting, and repair and maintenance of the irrigation system to
