Since Taiwan's Retrocession, a total of 830 strains of sugar cane have been introduced from Hawaii, the Philippines, Australia and South Africa. One of the most successful, called N: Co 310, was donated by a South African experimental farm.
台灣光復以後，台糖為改良蔗種，曾分別由夏威夷、菲律賓、澳洲及南非等地引進甘蔗品種八百三十餘種，其中以南非聯邦納他爾甘蔗試驗場贈送的 N : Co 310 蔗種，在台試種結果最為成功，產蔗量與產糖量均高，更可宿根連續種植，深為蔗農們所歡迎。
