A close-up view of freshly harvested green sugarcane stalks. The canes are thick, cylindrical, and lie in a pile, with some of them retaining their outer husk layers, while others have been partially peeled. The texture of the sugarcane and the natural light give a sense of the outer surface characteristics.

The plant has the capacity to produce 40 tonnes of sugar a day, but it was only producing 15 tonnes before breaking down altogether.
