Sugar factories are industrial facilities that process raw materials, primarily sugarcane and sugar beets, to produce sugar. The process involves extracting juice from the plants, purifying it, and then crystallizing the sugar. This results in the granulated sugar commonly used in food and beverages. In addition to sugar, these factories often produce by-products such as molasses and bagasse. Molasses is a thick syrup used in baking and as animal feed, while bagasse is the fibrous residue left after juice extraction, often used as a biofuel or in paper production.
