This shift not only benefits the environment but also enhances local farmers’ livelihoods, allowing them to double their income and reduce working hours, while also improving their health. Focusing on tapping trees and not making sugar allows them to collect more juice to sell for the factory at a good price. Juice collection consumes significantly less time than cooking, 7 hours as opposed to 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest and process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArenga sugar, known locally as gula aren organik, is derived from the versatile Arenga pinnata tree, which grows naturally in biodiverse forests. The harvesting process involves making gentle incisions on the tree's flower stems, and local harvesters climb these incredibly tall trees to collect the precious juice, ensuring the tree remains untouched and unharmed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Camden Coffee Roastery","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":58175468405071,"sku":null,"price":4.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":58175468437839,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/3166\/2415\/files\/forest_sugar_pic_1.png?v=1783589076","url":"https:\/\/camdencoffeeroastery.com\/products\/forest-sugar","provider":"Camden Coffee Roastery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
