                           This is a video of a Sugar Cane harvest in Ciarns, Queensland, Australia.


I am sorry to say that my search for videos of a chicle harvest and of chewing gum production both turned out to be near on impossible to find. Understandably a video of a chicle harvest is hard to come by because the harvesters, (chicleros) are generally underpaid labourers. The videos of gum production were hard to find because all of the reliable gum companies that would provide real, usefull information tend to claim that their gum is made with a secret recipe and they cannot reveal how it is produced, this tends to be a handy scheme for avoiding giving out the bad nutritional information.
