100 tonsi can/hectare -> 10 tons of sugar/hectare

poor cane:
	100kg of cane -> 40kg juice at 17% sugar -> 7kg gur

ihe crushing process must break up the hard nodes of the cane and flatten the stems. The juice is collected, filtered and sometimes treated and then boiled to drive off the excess water. The remaining liquid is allowed to set into a solid mass known as gur,
Boil in large clean pan. Sediment settels to bottom and is dregded out, scum skimmed from top. Small peices can be set aside to se if they set solid when cool:

The tools required are very simple Filtration before boiling is done through a fine woven cloth. Scum is removed from the boiling juice by a simple perforated scoop on a long handle. Sediment is removed by scraping a stretched cloth along the bottom of the pan. Once the pan has been removed from the heat, a simple rake is used to stir the thickened juice.
