Saccharum officinarum, commonly known as sugarcane, is a tall perennial grass native to tropical regions. It is primarily cultivated for its juice, which is rich in sucrose, a type of sugar. Sugarcane plays a vital role in the global sugar industry and is also used to produce biofuels and various by-products like molasses and rum. The plant typically grows in warm climates and requires plenty of sunlight and water. Sugarcane is harvested by cutting the stalks, which are then processed to extract the sugar. This versatile crop contributes significantly to the economies of many countries, especially in Brazil and India.
