一、台湾甘蔗栽培的时代进展台湾糖业始于1600年前后的明朝,当时福建移民将福建栽培的竹蔗带到台湾栽培,主要分布于嘉义至台南元间,后来面积逐步扩大。经过10—12年的努力,台湾蔗糖年产量超过1.8万吨,出口至日本和菲律宾,从此台湾成为世界上重要的蔗糖产区之一。人们称这一段时间为“福建竹蔗时代”。 I. The Progress of Sugarcane Cultivation in Taiwan Taiwanese sugar industry began around Ming Dynasty around 1600, when Fujian immigrants brought the cultivated bamboo canes in Fujian to Taiwan for cultivation, mainly in Jiayi and Tainan Yuan area, and then expanded their area gradually. After 10-12 years of hard work, the annual output of sucrose in Taiwan exceeds 18,000 tons and is exported to Japan and the Philippines. As a result, Taiwan has become one of the most important sucrose producing areas in the world. People call this period “Fujian Bamboo and Cane Times.”
