What is a Sugar Refinery?
A sugar refinery is a facility where sugar is processed so that it can be sold. Some sugar refineries are attached to packaging plants, so that the finished sugar can be immediately packaged and shipped out for sale to stores. Sugar refineries are usually located in sugar-producing areas so that the sugar does not have to travel far from field to refinery. Some are open to the public, for people who are interested in seeing the process of sugar production for themselves.
