Reference: Bituca

Reference information:
Bituca: pedaços de cana-de-açúcar não aproveitáveis para a fabricação dos produtos derivados da cana-de-açúcar. São recolhidos pelos
trabalhadores canavieiros após encerrarem a jornada de trabalho no corte da cana, o que prolonga a permanência do trabalhador no local
de trabalho, entretanto, não garante o recebimento de pagamento pelo exercício de tal atividade, embora seja uma atividade laborativa
ligada ao corte da cana e que retarda o retorno do trabalhador ao seu local de moradia.

"As canas devem ser alinhadas homogeneamente ao longo do eito. Caso contrário, elas escorregam durante o carregamento, aumentando desperdícios e bitucas (pedações de cana caídos durante o carregamento). "

"As there was an increase in the use of machines and with the intensification of migration the women were rejected from this activity and the only jobs open to them were picking oranges and other activities in sugar cane growing, such as bituqueiras (the women who pick up the pieces of cut sugar cane left by the machines). "
www.interfacehs.sp.senac.br/images/artigos/153_pdf.pdf

"My first memory of working was helping with what we called the liliko, the sugarcane harvest. Guys would bundle sugarcane, carry it onto railroad cars. They weren’t railroads because I think they were hauled by mules. The workers would gather the cane, carry it onto the vehicle — they were like train cars with the arms up on the side — and [in the cars] pile things up. After they did that, we, little people, would go around picking up the small pieces of cane that were overlooked. That was liliko [gathering pieces of sugarcane]. "
