Geographical requirements for the cultivation of sugar cane

2.      It needs a long growing frost free season of 8 to 12 months.

3.     It requires a heavy average rainfall (a minimum of 120 cm. unless irrigated).

4.     It needs a drier winter season (but not complete drought) for ripening and harvesting.
