Each of these characteristics allows sugar to perform a variety of functions in food products, in addition to providing a sweet taste.

Global sugar production for the crop year 2011/12 is estimated in 168 million metric tons. Brazil is now the world's leading sugar producer and exporter, accounting for approximately 20 percent of global production and 44 percent of world exports, using for the cultivation of sugarcane averaged 9 million hectares with all necessaryagroecological zoning, which represents around 1 percent of Brazil's land.
