What is the reason that most of the sugar mills are founded near sugarcane producing areas in India? |
|
Answer» Sugarcane is the only and most important raw material for sugar industry. In total weight of sugarcane, the weight of sucrose (sugar) is between 9% to 12%. Sugarcane is a weight loss agriculture crop. During cutting to loading period, quantity of sucrose reduces. If the juice from sugarcane is extracted in the sugar mills within 24 hours of its cutting, then the quantity of sugar obtained from it is the maximum. After this, the percentage of sugar declines as time passes. That is why most of the sugar mills are located near sugarcane producing regions. Thus, sugar industry is considered a raw material oriented industry. |
