Geographical requirements for the
cultivation of sugar cane
1. Sugarcane
is a tropical plant. It requires high temperature between 20oc to 30oc
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.
5. Well
drained fertile alluvial or volcanic soils are suitable for sugarcane
cultivation.
6. Abundant
labour or provision of mechanisation and good transport facilities are its
other requirements.
Exportation of sugar: Queen’s

markets for Australia sugar are Korea (23%), Indonesia (11%), japan (10%), Middle
