Division VI 6.135 Food and Agriculture Prague, VI - R/3 - 130/45 g Seheim To the head of the ministry in the H a u s e Subject: Presentation of the Head of Division vI to the Minister of State on 3.3.1945. 2:) By Minister Dr. It was pointed out that it would probably not be possible to process the approximately 28 million tonnes of sugar beet expected in the next campaign, which would require 450,000 tonnes of coal and coke and 95,000 tonnes of limestone. Mr Staatninister considers that, for food and agricultural reasons, the area under sugar beet must be maintained as high as possible and, if necessary, appropriate alternatives must be sought for the recovery of sugar beets. The decision on the area under cultivation is not to be judged solely from the needs of the Protectorate, but also a vote with the Minister of the Reich B a c k e is required.
