Abstract
THE sweet juices from palm trees (date, brab, coconut and sago) which grow abundantly in the tropics are collected for toddy (fermented juice) or for conversion into liquor. The fresh juice is found to contain about 10–14 per cent of sucrose and could be a useful source of sugar, thus replacing cane sugar and releasing fertile land for cereals.
