The earliest known production of Muscovado began in Northern India, after the introduction of sugarcane by Austronesian traders from Southeast Asian Island at around 1000BCE. Sugar production was an important trade during the British Empire: sugar cane was produced among the colonies in the West Indies, India, Mauritius and other territories including Cuba, Java and the Philippines.
