Abstract
WITH an area under sugar-cane about one-seventh of that devoted to this crop in India, Java has an annual production of cane-sugar not greatly inferior to that of India, and is able, after meeting its own requirements, to export large quantities, for which India is one of the chief markets. In Java the cultivation of sugar-cane is conducted on the most modern lines, and the manufacture of cane-sugar is carried on in central factories, where the processes are chemically controlled at every stage.
