On the road to Hassan a rural area of India we saw the ploughing, planting, harvesting and processing of sugar cane to produce a hard form of delicious fudge. Oxen are still used to plough and transport over short distances. The cane is crushed to extract the juices and then boiled. Once cooked it is then poured into long moulds to solidify. Then the fudge is cut to size and sold on the markets. Farming accounts for 70% of Indian industry.
