"Memoria sobre a cultura, e productos da cana de assucar" by José Caetano Gomes is a scientific publication likely written in the late 18th century. The text focuses on the cultivation and processing of sugarcane, offering insights on agricultural methods and sugar production in Brazil. The author addresses both the successes and shortcomings of current practices, aiming to improve the understanding and productivity of sugar plantations. The opening of the work sets the context for discussing the agricultural potential of Brazil, which is deemed superior due to its climate and lack of natural disasters. However, Gomes critiques the primitive state of sugarcane agriculture, noting it is mostly based on traditional methods rather than modern techniques. He emphasizes the need for proper spacing and care in planting while describing the plant's structure and growth process in detail, intending to demonstrate how better practices could enhance sugar production. Gomes's observations serve as a critique of the reliance on untrained labor and a call for increased education among landowners and planters to improve yields of this crucial crop.
