The diagram gives detailed information about the process in which sugar is produced from sugar cane.
Overall, it is clear that there are 7 main stages in the production of sugar, starting with growing sugar cane for about 12 to 18 months and culminating with drying and cooling it in a special machine. It is also worth mentioning that the process requires both labor-intensive and machine-driven jobs, the latter taking up most of the work.
Looking at the details, the process begins when sugar cane is grown (12-18 months). Next, it is harvested in two different ways (by machine or by hand). After harvesting the sugar cane, it is crushed by a special machine to get juice. Then, it is sent to the next stage where a limestone filter is applied to purify the juice. Having been filtered, the juice is heated until it becomes syrup in a process called evaporation. After that, another process called centrifugation (which separates sugar crystals from syrup) is applied. At the end of the process, the sugar is dried and cooled in a container.
