The term for the process of making sugar from sugar cane is "sugar extraction" or "sugar processing." This involves several steps, including harvesting the sugar cane, crushing it to extract the juice, and then refining the juice to produce raw sugar. The extracted juice undergoes clarification, concentration, and crystallization, which separates the sugar crystals from molasses. The final product can be further refined into different grades of sugar. Sugar processing is a significant industry in many tropical countries where sugar cane is cultivated, and it also includes environmental considerations and sustainability practices.
