<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Sugarcane is a weight-losing crop. The ratio of sugar to sugarcane varies between 9 to 12 per cent depending on its variety. Its sucrose content begins to dry during haulage after it has been harvested from the field. So most of the sugarcane industries are located near the sugar growing regions.

The cost of production of sugar is higher in India .
