SUGAR CANE
Sugarcane is a crop primarily grown in tropical countries and has the notable quality of serving as both a food and a fuel source. Along with supplying 86 per cent of the world’s sugar (the remaining coming from beet), sugarcane also serves as a key biofuel feedstock, given that it is highly efficient in converting sunlight into energy.
PINEAPPLE
Costa Rica, the world's leading pineapple exporter, grew 9% in exports in January and February of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Costa Rica has seen a considerable increase in demand this year as a result of the Chinese ban on imports from Taiwan, and prices have surged by 14%. While China is looking for alternative buyers, European countries still face limited supply, keeping the market balanced.
