History of the Name Barbados

Initially discovered by Pedro O Campos, this island has the name Los Barbados which in another language means “those with beards”. Pedro O Campos gave the name after seeing the trees there have roots that hang like beards. Migrants planted the island with sugarcane trees for many years. Since then, the Island of Barbados has had many sugarcane fields to become the largest in the Caribbean Islands. During the process, the sugar cane fields produce quality sugar and have a high selling value. So that sugar products from Barbados can generate high profits. The Barbados sugar producers then developed several types of sugar products to add economic value to the processed sugar cane products. During the 20th century sugar, rum, and molasses were Barbados’ mainstays for profit.

Currently, Muscovado Sugar or Dark Muscovado is still one of Barbado’s commodities that has high economic value. Dark Muscovado has been marketed throughout the Caribbean, South America, to Europe. Muscovado has good potential as a sweetener product that will sell well in the world. Many people believe Dark Muscovado is a healthier sugar than granulated sugar. In addition, this sugar is also believed to be a competitor to coconut sugar and palm sugar which have a high mineral content.
