The zafra refers to the late summer or early autumn harvest and is a common term in countries with Arabic or Spanish influence. In the Caribbean, the term generally refers to the sugar cane harvest (Rojas: 226). There, the zafra runs from January through May (Gorry and Stanley: 141), whereas in the Mediterranean it occurs in September to October. In each case, however, the zafra was closely tied to the life cycle of sugar. Because in the Caribbean cane is ready for harvest at a time of year different than in Spain or North Africa, the meaning of the term has shifted.
