Sugar cane is a tall, perennial grass that belongs to the genus Saccharum. It is primarily grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The plant thrives in warm climates and requires plenty of sunlight and water. Sugar cane is known for its sweet, fibrous stalks, which are harvested for their high sugar content. The main product derived from sugar cane is sugar, which is extracted by crushing the stalks and processing the juice. In addition to sugar, sugar cane is also used to produce ethanol, a renewable fuel, and molasses, a thick syrup used in cooking and baking.
