The given diagrams illustrate how sugar cane is planted, harvested and produced into sugar.
Overall, this process consists of 7 steps, starting with growing the sugar cane and ending with drying the sugar crystals ready for trade and consumption.
At the begging of the process, sugarcane is grown for 12 to 18 months before it can be harvested. Then, the harvesting process is done mechanically or manually. The method involves a harvester collecting the sugarcane plants and dropping them into a shipping container, while in the second method, farmers use sickles to harvest the plants by hand.
In the next step, after being harvested, sugarcane will be crushed in a crusher to produce sugarcane juice. This juice is then purified, where the limestone filter works to remove impurities. The purified juice is then heated in an oven into syrup, before being transferred into a centrifuge to remove sugar crystals from the syrup. In the final step, the crystals are dried, cooled and stored in large containers.
