What is Cuban sugar?

Cuban sugar: sugar produced in Cuba. It has nothing to do with brown sugar.

Cuba island is mostly plain, with only some mountains and hills in the northwest, middle and southeast. Most of the territory has a tropical rain forest climate, and only the lee side of the southwest coast has a tropical grassland climate. The forest area accounts for about 20% of the national area. Sugarcane is the main agricultural product, and the planting area accounts for more than 55% of the total cultivated area. It is the famous "sugar jar of the world".

In order to support the economic construction of Eastern Group countries and meet the domestic sugar supply, China signed an agreement with Cuba to import 400,000 tons of Cuban sugar every year. Since then, Cuban sugar has entered the lives of hundreds of millions of people in China.

China is still importing Cuban sugar. Every year, cargo ships carrying Cuban sugar call at Shenzhen Port, Tianjin Port and Qingdao Port, but they will only be circulated to the market after deep processing in domestic sugar factories. At present, Cuban sugar still appears in our lives, but it is no longer called "Cuban sugar".
