Guadeloupe:
a land of contrasts<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAgriculture in Guadeloupe varies greatly from place to place. Grande Terre’s large, sun-drenched clay plateaus have historically favored sugarcane production. Basse Terre is humid and benefits from very rich volcanic soils, ideal for large-scale sugarcane cultivation, sometimes on steep slopes.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Grande-Terre, Cane country <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGrande-Terre is a sunny limestone plateau with a warm, tropical climate: an ideal cocktail for cane growing. Towards Anse-Bertrand, droughts are frequent. The fields therefore need irrigation. The Grands Fonds area to the southwest is more hilly and has no shortage of water.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBasse-Terre enjoys an equatorial climate. The interior of the island is humid, particularly on the slopes of the Soufri\u00e8re volcano, where tropical rainforest flourishes. It is less urbanized and retains its mountainous landscapes and lush vegetation. Sugar cane is grown mainly in the northeast.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLe Moule is our commune! Very dynamic, most of its activity is focused on agriculture. This is where you’ll find the highest density of sugar cane. The island’s main port, it was here that sugar was exported to the mainland in colonial times.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
