Sugarcane production


Q:- The state that produces highest amount of Sugarcane in India ?

-> Uttarpradesh...

Western UttarPradesh and Lower Uttaranchal are the biggest sugarcane producing states in India. Sugarcane is mainly used for Jaggery production as it is the main substitute for sugar. Uttarpradesh ranks first having 47.6 per cent of the total sugarcane acreage. Sugar cane plantations are usually established in the spring, by planting stem cuttings in fields. As they grow, the stems multiply at the base, for a cluster of 2 or 3 stems. As the stems mature the sugar content increases.

Other than jaggery production, the molasses left over from sugarcane has many uses. These includes as feed for animals and fertilizers. Molasses, along with cane juice and other by-products can be fermented and then distilled, to produce an alcoholic distillate known as rum.
