Sugarcane

Sugarcane is a tall, perennial grass native to tropical regions, primarily grown for its juice, which is processed to produce sugar. The plant has sturdy stalks rich in natural sugars like sucrose. Farmers harvest the cane, extract the juice through crushing, and then refine it into products such as table sugar, molasses, and ethanol. Beyond sugar, sugarcane is also used for generating bioenergy and producing other by-products. It plays a vital role in agriculture and industry, supporting food, beverage, and energy sectors worldwide.
