Discussion
Which of the following factors are responsible for the rapid growth of sugar production in south India as compared to north India?
- Higher per acre field of sugarcane
- Higher sucrose content of sugarcane
- Lower labour cost
- Longer crushing period
Answer: D
The answer is I, II and IV.
South Indian cane gives a higher yield per acre and a higher sucrose content, because the tropical climate suits it, and the crushing season runs far longer - often eight months against four in the north, since there is no severe winter. Labour costs are not lower in the south; they are generally higher.
