World Sugar Production is a free online knowledge level game to explore the regions that produce the most quantity of sugar beet for 2016. Featuring an interactive world map, this resource hunt exercise is perfect for desktop computers, laptops, and tablets. It serves as an excellent tool for online lessons, interactive classes, and exciting homework assignments regarding global agriculture and food resources.
There is a map of the world and 20 shovels displayed at the top of the screen. Click on the various locations of the map to see how many tonnes of sugar beet that region produces per year. The amount of the sugar beet production will be added to the counter at the bottom, and one shovel will be lost with each search. Your task is to collect 220 million tonnes of sugar beet per year before you run out of shovels.
Knowledge Achievements:
Identify the top 3 countries that produced the most sugar beet in 2016 and get +1 Knowledge Level.
• Industrial Extraction: Modern sugar beets date back to the mid-18th century in Silesia, where the King of Prussia subsidised experiments to extract sugar from root vegetables.
• Global Supply: In 2009, sugar beets accounted for approximately 20% of the entire world's sugar production, with the rest coming from sugarcane.
• Scientific Isolation: In 1747, chemist Andreas Marggraf isolated sugar from beetroots and proved it was chemically identical to the sugar produced from tropical sugarcane.
In 2016, several countries led the world in sugar beet cultivation. While Europe and North America were massive producers, they were also net importers to meet high local demand. Here are the top countries featured in the game:
