Project Gutenberg 2007-08-31 Public domain in the USA. 68 Dufau, Th. Een Reis naar het Land van de Cacao en de Suiker De Aarde en haar Volken, 1908 Produced by Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net/ "Een Reis naar het Land van de Cacao en de Suiker" by Th. Dufau is a detailed travel narrative that likely originated in the early 20th century. This book serves as both an exploration and an economic account, documenting the author's journey to Barbados, English Guyana, and Trinidad to study the agricultural and industrial conditions of these regions, particularly in the context of the declining sugar prices affecting French colonies. In this insightful publication, Dufau presents a thorough examination of the sugar industry and its socio-economic implications in the Caribbean during a time of crisis. The narrative describes the differences in agricultural practices between French and English colonies, highlighting the resilience of the English territories in sustaining their sugar production. Dufau visits various plantations, engages with local planters and experts, and observes the cultivation of not just sugar but also cacao, which is gaining prominence. Through these interactions, he identifies crucial factors influencing agricultural success, the adaptation of labor forces, challenges posed by natural disasters, and the significance of plant breeding practices. The concluding assessment indicates the contrasts between the thriving English colonies and the stagnation observed in the French counterparts, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of colonial agricultural dynamics in the early 1900s.
