Growing Sugarcanes

Ingredients

Under the advantage of geographical environment, Pingtung plain had the historical background of planting sugarcanes and pressing sugar in Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of the republic of China, although sugarcane was important, the government did not pay much attention to it. Sugarcane could be easily seen discarded on the side of the road. Sugar was an important economic source at that time, but it was not taken seriously. After the recovery, foreign exchange fees reached 74 percent. During the Japanese occupation, the sugar industry was in the transformation period of Taiwan's sugar industry. With industrialization, the output increased greatly and the demand for sugar raw materials increased. Therefore, the location with good sugarcane growth became a must-win for sugar mills. Sugar cane cultivation is stable and diverse, with one variety growing in one area, a steady source of water, better land, and even the smallest details. Nowadays, we can no longer see the early sugarcane growing randomly by the roadside, nor can we see the phenomenon of sugarcane littering. Sugarcane planting is still an important and driving economic source.
