Why is the sugar industry a seasonal industry?

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

The 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 the only harvesting time of the sugarcane.
