I was thinking of cane sugar, which is more common in Asia (and elsewhere, I guess, but not in NA).

Cane sugar was, second only to cotton, responsible for continuing the slave trade here in the Americas. Cane sugar is sucrose, and I had made guess based on your previous comments that you were referring to cane sugar.

Edit: I should've just written"

cane_sugar==sucrose

sucrose==glucose+fructose

corn==fructose //(subsidized feed stock for ethanol used in fuel in the US)
