Cane Sugar Factory

Abstract

Sugar cane is the oldest and cheapest source for the production of sugar. The earliest record of sugar cane cultivation in Hindu literature is about 3000 years old. Sugar cane spread slowly to Persia and then to Egypt, where commercial production and refining of cane sugar was developed during the 9th century. Across Northern Africa and the Mediterranean area sugar cane came to Spain and the Canary Islands, from where Columbus introduced it to the New World.
