In addition, coconut, rape and walnut are also oil plants. (3) Sugar crops: The purpose of planting is to harvest rhizome products, juice and make sugar, and the most important ones are hemp, beet and sorghum for making sugar. Beet is the main crop in the north of China, while hemp is the main crop in the south. However, this difference is gradually narrowing, sugar beet is gradually expanding to the south, and marijuana is gradually shifting to the north. These crops not only contribute their "essence" to human beings, but also can be used as raw materials for alcohol, paper, fiber and other industries or feed for livestock.
