Shanhua Sugar Factory (台糖善化糖廠辦公室)
The Shanhua Sugar Factory in Tainan County and the Huwei Sugar Factory in Yunlin County are two of the remaining sugar factories that still carry out sugar cane crushing. The other sugar factory plants have undergone business transformation.
The sugar factory in Shanhua was opened in 1905, and sugar production officially began in December 1906. Initially, 180 metric tons of sugar were pressed, which gradually increased to 700 metric tons through continuous improvement. In 1928, the second workshop was expanded, and the crushing capacity was increased to 1,000 metric tons.
After the Second World War, in 1946, the National Government took over the state-owned production enterprise under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and renamed it Wanli Sugar Factory, the second branch of Taiwan Sugar Company. In 1950, the branches were changed to general factories.
In November 1990, the Yongkang Sugar Factory and Madou Sugar Factory were merged. The Yongkang Sugar Factory ceased production, and sugar processing continued at the Madou Sugar Factory. In 1992, the Yujing Sugar Factory was merged, and sugar production continued at the Yujing Factory. The Madou Factory was shut down in 1994, and its business was transferred to the Jiali Sugar Factory. The Yujing Factory was closed in 1995, and its equipment was taken over by the Shanhua Sugar Factory. In 1998, the Jiali Sugar Factory was completed and taken over by the Shanhua Sugar Factory. In 2003, the Rende Sugar Factory and Xinying Sugar Factory were closed and merged into the Shanhua Sugar Factory. In 2004, the Shanhua Sugar Factory celebrated its 100th anniversary. In 2008, the Nanjing Sugar Factory was also discontinued, and its self-operated farm was merged into the Shanhua Sugar Factory.
During the Japanese occupation period, large areas of sugar cane were cultivated in the region for sucrose production. However, with the decline in international sugar demand, the sugar factory underwent a transformation into a tourist attraction as part of Taiwan Sugar Company's diversified management strategy.
