Why is the sugar industry a seasonal industry? |
| Answer» Solution :Sugar industry is totally based on sugarcane as raw material. Sugarcane is a seasonal crop harvested annually. Since sugarcane is a PERISHABLE crop and its SUCROSE content starts to decline within 24 HOURS only, therefore sugarcane cannot be stored for PRODUCTION of sugar later in the year. As a result production of sugar is limited to only HARVESTING time of the sugarcane. | |
