"experimented with using their slaves to run the plantations"
“many of the slaves working sugar plantations in the Mediterranean were Russians”
"careful organization did not solve the second problem with sugar"

Answer 1

"the work was governed by extremely tight, rigid discipline" — harsh discipline implies the work was arduous and hard to manage.

"careful organization did not solve the second problem with sugar" — shows even careful planning couldn’t overcome major difficulties in sugar production.
