KHANDSARI SUGAR (200 TCD)
[EIRI/EDPR/1620] J.C.: 423,658
INTRODUCTION
Sugar has served mankind as a source of energy and as a sweeting agent the down of civilization. Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) and sugar beet (Betu vulgaris) are the two principal sources of the world's supply of sugar. sugar cane is grown in tropical and sub-topical countries, while beet root is sugar from sugar cane originated in India, and from here it spread eastwards to Malaya and China and westwards to Persia and beyond. The process of obtaining sugar from beet was developed in France towards the end of the 18th century, and soon the beet become an important raw material for sugar production in many European Countries.
The earliest recorded evidence of concentrated juice called gur is found in pratimokasha, a code of behaviour of Budhists written in 6th century B.C. and in Mahadhashya of Patanjali of 350 B.c. The first traceable reference about the sugar Industry in India by an easterner in from Megasthenes. In kuang-kumfang-Pu, it is stated that the Chinese Emperor Tai-Toung (A.D.627-650) sent a mission to Magadh (Patna) to learn the technique of sugar manufacture. The Indian sugar was exported as early as in 15th century. The east India Company started exporting sugar to England in 1791.
Several West Indian, Mauritius planters were attracted to India and a substantial Industry came to be estimated in Bihar. During the first, three decades of 20th century the Khandsari sugar factories boomed and growed like mushroom specially in U.P. In 1932 Government of India passed the sugar industry. In 1950, the co-operative societies came into existence and the growth of Khandsari sugar factories was good, although most of them were cottage or small scale industries, located mainly in U.P. It is estimated that in 1962 out of 135 units, 112 units where in U.P. alone.
Khandsari is a kind of raw can sugar manufactured in India since ancient times. After the advance of the modern vacuum pan sugar industry in the country, the production of khandsari has been on the decline. The khandsari has somehow survived in rural areas where still exists a demand for it among certain orthodox classes. Besides, it has a special market in certain parts of the country where it is preferred to white sugar in the preparation of certain sweets. Also when white sugar is not freely available and its price is high, khandsari is substituted.
Khandsari sugar, except for small quantities exported, is consumed whoolly in the country itself.
Khandsari sugar industry about 4% of the cane raised in India. In compression to over 70% of the sugar cane raised in India in crushed for gur manufacture their by greater part of the product is used for domestic cooking and drinks.
Khandsari sugar factory being an agro based industry has to face many problems, the output fluctuates, with the vagaries of monsoons and low productivity of sugarcane, which is attributed to inadequate irrigation facilities, untimely supply of seeds etc.
