Abstract


In South Canara, Sugarcane cultivation is mostly confined to river banks along the mouths of rivers and to small islands known as "Kuders" which lie near the mouths of these rivers. All along the coast of the district in Kasaragod, Mangalore, Udipi and Kunda poor Taluks, local sugarcane cultivation has been going on for many years, but there is not much cultivation in the interior taluky of Karkal and Uppinangadi. The cultivation, generally speaking is not in the hands of indigenous cultivators of the district such as the Bunts, but it is mostly done by Roman Catholic Christians and Moplahs, the latter cultivators being found only in Kasaragod Taluk. These two classes of people are hardworking and enterprising.
