What the numbers mean
Sugarcane is weighed as harvested cane, much of which is water and fibre. A tonne of cane is not a tonne of refined sugar. Some cane also goes into ethanol or other products. Comparing this table with sugar exports would therefore mix two different stages of production.
Where the top ten ends
The tenth entry is Australia at 29,855,156.00. This is a cutoff within the published comparison, not evidence that countries outside the table have no production. The date and coverage are part of the answer: updating the source or changing the eligible territories can change who appears.
