Kim Tan purple sugarcane is a specialty sugarcane variety that has been grown for many years in Kim Tan commune and surrounding areas in Thanh Hoa province. This sugarcane variety stands out among people in various regions for its characteristic sweet taste, shiny purple skin, and was once chosen as an offering to kings and lords since the feudal era. The origin of Kim Tan purple sugarcane is closely linked to the agricultural farming tradition in the Kim Tan hills, where unique climatic and soil conditions create a sugarcane taste that cannot be found anywhere else.
1.2. Appearance and distinguishing features of Kim Tan sugarcane compared to other varieties
When placed next to many popular sugarcane varieties, Kim Tan purple sugarcane impresses with its unique identifying features. The sugarcane stalk is round and even, about the size of a maiden's wrist, shorter but sturdier than sugarcane from the plains. The skin color is a shiny deep purple, with golden honey spots dotted on the surface. The prominent nodes are a point of unique attraction.
Inside, the sugarcane pulp is soft yet crisp, juicy, with a deep, sweet taste and no harsh aftertaste. This is the key difference between Kim Tan purple sugarcane and white sugarcane or other Kim Tan purple sugarcane grown elsewhere. Even if this sugarcane variety is planted in a different region, the plant remains healthy and the stalks grow larger, but it does not achieve the familiar rich, sweet taste of the Kim Tan region.
1.3. Why is it called the "Royal Tribute Specialty" of Thanh Hoa?
According to legends and folk documents, Kim Tan purple sugarcane was once chosen to be offered to royal dynasties such as the Nguyen dynasty and King Quang Trung. For many years, the court sent people to harvest it from the root and transport it to the capital Hue for banquets.
The reputation of this royal tribute specialty is not only based on its delicious flavor but also because it is a land-sensitive variety, difficult to grow elsewhere, making Thanh Hoa's Kim Tan purple sugarcane a rare commodity, considered a precious gift for the royal family.
2. Outstanding features of Kim Tan purple sugarcane
The distinctive characteristics of Kim Tan purple sugarcane are evident not only in its appearance but also in its flavor and special growing conditions.
2.1. Characteristic color and flavor unique to Kim Tan
Kim Tan purple sugarcane stands out with its dark purple stalk, smooth shiny skin, and nodes that look like small jewels on the stalk. When peeled, the inner pulp is golden, with a rich honey color that is easily recognizable. The pulp is soft, crisp, juicy, and emits a gentle aroma when enjoyed.

The characteristic sweetness of Kim Tan purple sugarcane is a blend of elegance, without any sour or cloying taste. It brings a pleasant coolness with a fragrance and sweetness unlike any other type of sugarcane. Even when this sugarcane variety is grown in fertile basaltic red soil, it cannot achieve the inherent delicate sweetness of Kim Tan, lacking its special depth and richness.
2.2. Cultivation Conditions and Ideal Soil
Kim Tan purple sugarcane only grows best when planted in the red soil hills of Kim Tan, which have good drainage. The soil and climate conditions here are decisive factors for the sugarcane to achieve its natural sugar content, purple color, tenderness, and outstanding fragrance. These factors create the difference, making the variety unable to replicate its flavor when grown elsewhere.
In reality, even when moved to many regions like Gia Lai or Tay Nguyen, Kim Tan purple sugarcane still grows healthily, but its sweetness, if any, cannot be as rich as sugarcane from Kim Tan. The characteristics of this sugarcane variety when grown elsewhere are mainly tall plants, large stems, but the taste is slightly sour or less sweet than the original. Therefore, Kim Tan purple sugarcane still makes its mark in Thanh Hoa with the best price and consumption.
3. Economic Value of Kim Tan Purple Sugarcane in 2025
Not only a cultural pride, Kim Tan purple sugarcane also contributes significantly to the economic value of the local people.
3.1. Impressive Revenue and Role in Local Agriculture
Kim Tan commune currently cultivates about 250 hectares of Kim Tan purple sugarcane, bringing an average income per hectare from 200 million VND to 250 million VND. This income is much higher than when only growing rice or other crops in the area. Each harvest, farmers can earn profits depending on the cultivation area and specific seasonal conditions.
