By this year, the Portuguese colony of Brazil has either 400 mills producing 57,000 tons of sugar a year, or only 230 mills producing 14,000 tons of sugar a year; accepting either figure depends on which expert you believe is more accurate, according to Alfred W. Crosby Jr. on page 69 of his book The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492 .
