The diagram illustrates how sugar is made from sugarcane.
Overall, the process consists of 7 main steps, beginning with growing sugarcane plants and ending with drying sugar crystals ready for consumption.
Initially, the process commences with the cultivation of sugarcane, which reaches maturity after a period of 12-18 months. The mature sugarcane is then harvested, either manually or using machinery. Then, the sugarcanes are crushed to extract the juice.
Following this, the extracted juice undergoes purification by passing through a limestone filter to eliminate impurities. The purified juice is evaporated to produce syrup. The syrup is then subjected to a centrifuging process to separate sugar crystals from the remaining liquid. Finally, the crystals are dried, cooled, and stored for packaging and distribution
