The diagram below shows the manufacturing process for making sugar from sugar cane. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The pictures given below depict the 7 steps of harvesting sugarcane till

sugar

crystal formation.

Overall

, the main care for plants is to be given in the initial stage of 12-18 months provided that a good harvest depends on the quantity and quality of the

sugar

cane. The following steps are harvesting, crushing, purifying the juice, evaporating the juice, separating

sugar

crystals from

syrup

, and

finally

drying and cooling the

syrup

.

Initially

, farmers plant the

sugar

cane stems in their agricultural land

then

take huge care by giving manure and growing it for 12- 18 months. When the plant reaches almost 16 or 17 months farmers plan for harvesting, they harvest using a combine harvester or just by hand. After that the stems are crushed and juice is extracted, later on, it is purified with a limestone filter. Moving on to the next step the extract is heated in a chamber to form as a

syrup

. Moving ahead the

syrup

is

then

rotated in a centrifuge forming

sugar

crystals.

Finally

, the crystals are sent for drying and cooling down.
