SUGAR-CANE IN BELLARY (ITS CULTIVATION, MANUFACTURE OF JAGGERY AND THE NEED FOR A SUGAR FACTORY)

Abstract

In the neighbourhood of Hospet in the Bellary District, there are large areas of land devoted to growing sugar-cane. There are between 6,000 to 7,000 acres within a radius of 10 to 15 miles, and as much as 3,000 to 3,500 acres can be easily had for any sugar factory which may be established in the locality. In view of such possibilities, a careful study of the sugar-cane and the local conditions, etc., was undertaken. A sugar-cane mill was hired from the Department of Industries to collect the necessary data. Consultations were held both with the ryots and the merchants.
