Sugarcane, or sugar cane, is one of the several species of tall
perennial true grasses of the genus Saccharum, tribe
Andropogoneae, native to the warm temperate to tropical regions
of South Asia, Melanesia, and used for sugar production. It has
stout jointed fibrous stalks that are rich in the sugar sucrose,
which accumulates in the stalk internodes. The plant is two to
six metres (6 to 19 feet) tall. All sugar cane species
interbreed and the major commercial cultivars are complex
hybrids. Sugarcane belongs to the grass family Poaceae, an
economically important seed plant family that includes maize,
wheat, rice, and sorghum and many forage crops.
Sucrose,
extracted and purified in specialized mill factories, is used as
raw material in human food industries or is fermented to produce
ethanol. Ethanol is produced on a large scale by the Brazilian
sugarcane industry. Sugarcane is the world's largest crop by
production quantity.[1] In 2012, The Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates it was
cultivated on about 26.0 million hectares, in more than 90
countries, with a worldwide harvest of 1.83 billion tons. Brazil
was the largest producer of sugar cane in the world. The next
five major producers, in decreasing amounts of production, were
India, China, Thailand, Pakistan and Mexico. |
