Sugarcane

Sugarcane is one of the most important plantation crops for producing sugarcane juice, which is widely used as the primary raw material for the sugar and bioethanol (an alternative energy source) industries; its byproduct (bagasse) is used for animal feed and as a raw material for paper production. This plant thrives in tropical to subtropical climates with ample sunlight and is a major commodity in meeting the world’s demand for sweeteners.
