Sugar cane

Sugar cane is a tall, perennial grass native to tropical regions, primarily cultivated for its juice, which is processed into sugar. It thrives in warm climates and is typically harvested in large fields. The stalks of the plant are rich in sucrose, which is extracted and refined to produce various forms of sugar. Beyond sugar production, sugar cane is also used in making rum, molasses, and biofuels. Additionally, the fibrous byproduct, known as bagasse, can be utilized for paper or energy production, showcasing its importance in agriculture and industry.
