Sugar after wheat is of strategic importance in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Australia, while sugar is second only to rice for Asian countries. It was, therefore, necessary to pay full attention to sugary crops, especially sugar cane, to increase productivity and to bridge the gap between production and consumption by increasing the productivity of sugarcane. The main problem of sugarcane plantations is the harvesting process, this research includes most of the systems used to harvest sugar cane around the world to identify the advantages and disadvantages of operating in the systems. This research aims to survey most of the systems used in sugarcane harvesting around the world.
