Since the mid-1980s, China's sugar producing areas have rapidly moved to western regions such as Guangxi and Yunnan. By 1999, the cane sugar production in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces has accounted for 70.6% of the whole country (excluding Taiwan Province Province). With the development of production technology, the Central Plains of Chinese mainland (such as Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other places) also have scattered greenhouse cultivation.
Bagasse, waste honey and filter mud can be made into paper, fiberboard, particleboard, furfural, feed, food culture medium, alcohol, dry ice, yeast, citric acid, lysine, glacial acetic acid, monosodium glutamate, glycerol, cement and fertilizer.
Sugarcane shoots, sugarcane leaves, bagasse bran, waste molasses or alcohol waste liquid can be used as feed for ruminants such as cattle and sheep. Granular feed can be made by mixing molasses and filter mud into grain feed; Waste residue and waste liquid discharged from sugar factories can also be used as fertilizer for sugarcane.
Sugarcane is the main raw material for sugar production in China. In the world total sugar production, sucrose accounts for about 65%, while China accounts for more than 80%. Sugar is one of the necessities of human beings, and it is also an important raw material for candy, beverage and other food industries. At the same time, sugarcane is an important raw material for light industry, chemical industry and energy. Therefore, the development of sugarcane production plays an important role in improving people's lives, promoting the development of agriculture and related industries, and even the development of the entire national economy.
