This document discusses sugar production from sugarcane. Sugarcane grows widely in tropical regions from Sindh to Punjab and produces an average of 37.5 tonnes per hectare. Sugar mills must be located near sugarcane fields to process the cane immediately after harvesting, as its sugar content starts decreasing and it is bulky. Sugarcane is used to make sugar, ghur and other sweets. Byproducts include bagasse used for fuel, paper, and animal feed and molasses used to make chemicals and plastics. Sugar is used as a sweetener, preservative, and bulking agent in many foods and drinks.
