A sugar cane mill is a factory that processes sugar cane to produce raw sugar [1] or plantation white sugar. [2] Some sugar mills are situated next to a back-end refinery, that turns raw sugar into (refined) white sugar. [3] The term is also used to refer to the equipment that crushes the sticks of sugar cane to extract the juice. [4]
Hamburg's last cane sugar refinery was the Dampfzuckersiederei von 1848, which closed down in 1885.

Near Magdeburg there were about 400 of these, one in almost every village.
Between the mid-2000s and 2019, sugarcane accounted for between 40 and 45 percent of the total sugar produced domestically and sugar beet for between 55 and 60 percent of production. U.S. sugar production expanded from an early-1980s average of 6.0 million short tons , raw value (STRV) to an average 8.4 million STRV between 2005/06 and 2019.
Laiskonis explains that turbinado sugar, although it can vary in size, typically has a larger crystal that is much coarser than white sugar—and although it goes through a similar processing to ...

Sugarcane or sugar cane is a species of tall, perennial grass (in the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae) that is used for sugar production. The plants are 2–6 m (6–20 ft) tall with stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in sucrose , [ 1 ] which accumulates in the stalk internodes .
Sugar Prices 1962-2022 USD per pound. The sugar industry subsumes the production, processing and marketing of sugars (mostly sucrose and fructose).Globally, about 80% of sugar is extracted from sugar cane, grown predominantly in the tropics, and 20% from sugar beet, grown mostly in temperate climate in North America or Europe.
Sugar cane was first grown extensively in medieval Southern Europe during the period of Arab rule in Sicily beginning around the 9th century. [35] [36] In addition to Sicily, Al-Andalus (in what is currently southern Spain) was an important center of sugar production, beginning by the tenth century. [37] [38]
