The land is cleared of its natural vegetation. It is ploughed using either tractors or ox-drawn ploughs. Harrowing is done to loosen the large lumps of soil. Shallow furrows are dug at intervals of 1.2 m and 1.8 m apart. Cuttings/seed canes are planted in the furrows. Top dressing/ nitrogen fertilizers are applied. Weeding is done regularly/ herbicides are applied. After 18 months the cane is ready for harvesting. It is cut/ harvested using pangas. The harvested cane is loaded into lorries for transportation to the factory.
