Portuguese term or phrase: canavial
Hello,
I have found the portuguese definition for canavial: "1 Lugar em que vegetam canas. 2 O conjunto dos lotes de cana, tomado como unidade produtiva da fazenda" (Michaelis).
However, I cannot find the English term.

Thanks!

neutral  Maria José Tavares: We have "canaviais" in Portugal and don't produce sugar cane!!!

  -> Oi Maria. Talvez o que em Portugal é chamado de “canavial” seja, portanto, uma “canavieira” que é um outro tipo de vegetação, provavelmente pertencente à família Poaceae de capins, gramas ou relvas.
