Abstract:
Sustainable sugarcane production and processing requires intensification of benefits
and minimization of both short term and long term loses. Identification of long term
loses/benefits from sugarcane production and processing is a difficult venture that entails
critical scientific analysis based on collected scientific data, historical events and
laboratory experiments. Moreover, most companies do not invest in research activities
geared towards identifying critical long term loses or benefits. The long term effects of
agronomic activities in sugarcane farming are herein discussed. Disposal of processed
and unprocessed wastes from sugarcane production and processing activities are also
discussed with various possible technical solutions and scientific techniques of
effectively generating profits from such wastes summarized. It is hoped that the diverse
green technologies of sugarcane production and processing explored herein can be of
significant contribution to the management of this vital sector of the economy.
