What are the outputs produced by the sugar mills?

• A. Rice and maize
• B. Tea and coffee
• C. Ethanol
• D. Raw sugar, brown sugar, refined sugar, molasses

Answer: (D)

Sugar mills transform harvested sugarcane into sugars and a by-product. The juice is crystallized to form sugar crystals, which become raw sugar. That raw sugar can be refined to white sugar, while some sugar products retain molasses to give brown sugar. The syrup left after crystallization is molasses, sold separately. So the outputs are raw sugar, brown sugar, refined sugar, and molasses. The other items listed aren’t produced by the milling process: rice and maize are different crops, tea and coffee are beverages, and ethanol isn’t a direct mill product (it comes from fermentation, not the milling of sugar).
