sugar plantation industry

The sugar plantation industry involves cultivating sugarcane, a crop grown mainly in tropical regions, to produce sugar and related products. Large farms, or plantations, plant, tend, and harvest sugarcane, which is then processed in mills to extract sugar, molasses, and other byproducts. The industry is significant for economies, providing employment and export income, but it also has research and environmental impacts. Advances aim to improve efficiency, sustainability, and product quality, balancing economic benefits with environmental and social responsibilities.
