Abstract
World sugar production is around 160 Mt yearly with a per capita consumption of about 23 kg. Total utilization is increasing approximately 1.4% annually thanks to the improved standard of living in densely populated countries like China and India. About one-quarter of world production is extracted from beets (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris), and the remainder from cane (Saccharum officinarum L.).
