N2  - The purpose of this study is to analyze the sugar industry of  Thailand during the 1960-74 period. An attempt was first made to de termine the structure and growth of the industry from the following  aspects: cane production; sugar production; sugar consumption; export  performance, power consumption; direct and indirect empl oyment; capi talization; forward and backward linkages. Backward and forward of  material flows to and from the sugar industry are identified. The  Maeklong River sugar industrial system whose combined capacity accounts  for 50 percent of the whole industry is then examined in detail s . Its  characteristics are then compared to those of the whole industry.  Due to the fact that the sugar industry consumed a significant  percentage of national energy consumption, and that Thailand has almost  no source of crude, an attempt was then made to investigate the thermal  energy utilization of the sugar plants in the Maeklong River System.  Data were collected from a selected plant over a period of three months  during the 1974-75 production season. It is found that the percentages  of heat loss is relatively quite high, and this deserves attention for  it could have an impact on the economy
