Sugar production requires a great deal of workers.
Explanation: In multiple passages in the paragraph, we can see that the author puts emphasis on the number of workers:
"The only way to make a lot of sugar is to engineer a system in which an army of workers swarms through the fields, cuts the cane, and hauls the pile to be crushed into a syrup that flows into the boiling room. There, laboring around the clock, workers cook and clean the bubbling liquid so that the sweetest syrup turns into the sweetest sugar. "
Thus, we can deduce that most likely answer is: Sugar production requires a great deal of workers.
