Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How does heavy rainfall affect the quality of sugarcane? Rainfall affects the production of sugarcane. As sugarcane is a tropical crop, heavy rainfall for a long period of time can decrease the sucrose content in sugarcane. The ideal rainfall of 100-150 cm throughout the year helps the sugarcane grow properly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Raw cane sugar (or brown sugar) normally contains 94–98.5% sucrose and 1.5–6% non-sucrose components, such as reducing sugars, organic acids, amino acids, proteins, starch, gums, coloring matter, and other suspended matters.
