This article studies the sugar industry in Colombia, mainly in the Cauca Valley. The analysis is focused on the technical evolution undergone since its inception and the way in which a «sugar culture» evolved. This work also studies the participation of «hacendados» and croppers during the Independence period and the formation of republican oligarchies, their adaptation to the economy modernization processes in the 20th Century, as well as the State intervention and the associative mechanisms the sector used to confront the 1930 crisis. These mechanisms helped to expand the sector. Finally the recent performance of the sugar industry is analyzed, mainly its growth in the seventies and the present efforts at competitiveness, environmental impact and situation in the world trade.
