Which code does this activity belong in?

Sugar Manufacturing comprises establishments that extract and refine sugar from raw agricultural inputs like sugarcane and sugar beets to produce raw sugar, liquid sugar, and refined sugar. The distinction from confectionery manufacturing lies in the endpoint of production; Sugar Manufacturing stops at the creation of sugar itself, whereas Nonchocolate Confectionery Manufacturing and Chocolate and Confectionery Manufacturing begin with sugar or chocolate as inputs and process these further into finished confectionery products intended for consumption.
