Sugarcane is native to India and is now widely planted in tropical and subtropical regions. The country with the largest sugarcane planting area is Brazil, followed by India, China ranks third, and the countries with larger planting area include Cuba, Thailand, Mexico, Australia and the United States. Sugarcane areas in China are mainly distributed in Guangxi (output accounts for 60% of the country), Guangdong, Taiwan, Fujian, Sichuan, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Hunan, Zhejiang, Hubei and other provinces (autonomous regions). Sugarcane can also be planted in some areas of northern China, only in Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong and Tianjin.

Sugarcane may have originated in New Guinea or India and later spread to the Nanyang Islands. It was introduced into southern China around the time of Zhou Xuanwang in the Zhou Dynasty. The word "sugarcane" in the pre-Qin period was sugarcane. It was not until the Han Dynasty that the word "sugarcane" appeared. The pronunciation of "sugarcane" and "sugarcane" may have come from the Sanskrit sakara. From the 10th to the 13th century (Song Dynasty), sugarcane was widely planted in all provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and sugarcane was also widely grown in Indo-China and other parts of South Asia, such as Zhenla, Zhancheng, Sanfoqi and Sujidan.

During Alexander the Great's expedition to India, one of his generals said that India produced a kind of grass that could produce honey without bees. In the 6th century, King Kusi (immortal soul) of the Sassanian dynasty of Iran introduced sugarcane to Iran for cultivation. Sugarcane was planted in Iraq, Egypt, Sicily and the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th to the 10th century. Later, Portuguese and Spanish colonists brought sugar cane to America.

According to the use can be divided into sugarcane and sugar cane, according to the appearance can also be divided into sugarcane "black King Kong" and sugarcane "black green gang". Sugarcane is a kind of sugarcane specially for fresh food, which has the characteristics of easy to tear, less fiber, moderate sugar, crisp stem, juicy taste, good taste, thick stem, long node, beautiful stem shape and so on. Sugarcane has a high sugar content and is a raw material used to make sugar. It is generally not used for fresh food sold in the market. Because of the thick hard fiber and poor taste, it is only eaten fresh occasionally in the producing area.
