Sugarcane plantations

Sugarcane plantations are large farms dedicated to growing sugarcane, a tall grass used to produce sugar. These plantations typically cover extensive fields where sugarcane is cultivated using modern farming techniques for high yield. After harvest, the cane is processed to extract juice, which is then refined into sugar and other products like molasses and ethanol. The industry requires significant labor, equipment, and resources, and it plays a vital role in the agricultural economy of many tropical and subtropical regions. Proper management ensures sustainable production, balancing economic benefits with environmental and social considerations.
