Jaggery Making in Hospet and Suggestions for its improvemnt.

Abstract

Bellary is one of the foremost sugarcane producing districes in the Madras Presidency. It had 9751 acres (the highest in the Presidency) under sugarcane in 1905-6, Coimbatore and Godavari following with 9689 and 8418 acres respectively. Strangely however, the jaggery into which all the cane grown in the District gets converted is the worst type of cane jaggery produced in the Presidency. The cause of this with the best means of improving the quality of the jaggery was taken up for investigation by the Department last year and continued during the present year. It is proposed in the present paper to deal with the results so far obtained.
