Rum industry

The rum industry involves the production, distribution, and sale of rum, a spirit made primarily from sugarcane byproducts like molasses or directly from sugarcane juice. Rum is distilled in various regions worldwide, especially in the Caribbean, Latin America, and parts of Asia, each creating unique flavors and styles. The industry relies on agricultural input, fermentation, distillation, aging, and branding to meet consumer demand. Rum is used both as a drinking spirit and in cocktails, with quality and price varying widely. It plays an important economic role in producing countries through tourism, exports, and job creation.
