During the colonial period, Dutch East Indies colonial government to exploit Indonesia's natural results on a large scale. One of them is sugar cane. Sweet stem that produces this sugar into an asset for the company's flagship trade of colonial rule, East India Company, during the period.
No wonder, in the mid-19th century, the Dutch East Indies government built many aliases fabriek Suiker sugar factories in Indonesia. In Java alone, more than 150 feet of sugar factories spread across various regions. The result, Indonesia grown into one of the largest sugar producer in the world at that time (the second largest after Cuba).
