Sugarcane 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 has a thick, jointed stem that stores sugar, which is extracted and processed to produce various products, including sugar, molasses, and ethanol. The cultivation of sugarcane requires warm temperatures, plenty of sunlight, and ample water. It is typically harvested once a year, and the process involves cutting the stalks close to the ground. Sugarcane plays a significant role in the economies of many countries, providing jobs and contributing to the agricultural sector.
