An Overview of Florida Sugarcane

"Florida is the largest producer of sugarcane in the United States followed by Louisiana, Hawaii, and Texas in order of production. Sugar beets are grown in North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, California, and 11 other states, and these provide approximately the same amount of sugar as the domestic sugarcane industry. All domestic sugar production combined still falls short of consumption. Almost one-fifth of the sugar consumed in the U.S. is imported. "
