countries are becoming more and more simlar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development.

The diagram illustrates the

process

of producing sugar from sugarcane. The

process

involves seven steps of different lengths and types including growing, crushing, harvesting, purifying etc.

Firstly

, the sugarcanes are farmed for a period of around 12 to 18 months.

This

is the longest step in the whole

process

. Once the crops get mature, they are harvested by farmers either manually or by using specialised machinery. In the

third

step, the harvested sugarcanes are put into the crushing machine in order to extract juices from them. Fourth, the juices are

further

purified using the limestone filter. The purified juice in the fifth step is put into a boiler where the contents are heated and

finally

, after evaporation, the syrup is obtained. The syrup contains sugar crystals which are segregated using a centrifugation

process

. Once that happened, the sugar is taken into the

last

phase of drying and cooling to get ready for final use or to be sold in the markets.
