Central America sugar output by country 1750-1988

Annual sugar output per country was generally below fifty metric tons per year in Central America from the late 1800s until the mid-1900s. From the 1950s until 1988, sugar output increased greatly, and Guatemala was the largest producer of sugar in most years; in some years in the 1970s and 1980s, Guatemala's sugar output was more than double that of any other Central American country, reaching almost 0.7 million metric tons in 1988.
