Answer:

Extracting the Juice

Once sugar cane has been picked, it is transported to a mill. There the canes are crushed by steel rollers in order to extract the juice.

Evaporating the Liquid

The juice is boiled in order to produce a syrup. Sugar crystals start to form at this stage. The sugar crystals are separated from the rest of the syrup.

Drying the Crystals

Once the sugar crystals have been separated, they are dried and stored. It is at this stage that the sugar will be refined and graded.
