Annual production 1985–2024 · FAOSTAT
Sugar cane production — seven data points (1965/1975/1985/1995/2005/2015/2024). The highest raw tonnage in Atlas's agricultural series, as sugar cane is harvested with a very high water content.

Brazil (760 Mt) produces nearly double India (453 Mt) — Brazilian cane isn't destined for sugar alone: a substantial share feeds the ethanol industry, which has fuelled much of Brazil's car fleet since the 1970s, well before biofuels became a global topic.
