Javanese

From the end of the 19th century large groups of Javanese came to Suriname to work on the plantations as contract workers, just like the Indians.However, when most of the plantations ceased to exist as a result of a crisis, many Javanese started to focus on small-scale agriculture. The Javanese population has grown throughout the years.
