Climate
India got favourable climate and soil for Sugarcane farming in most of the areas.This makes Sugarcane farming one of the best choices for farmers in southern,North-west and North-East regions.
Valuable Bye-products

Ratoon Farming
Once we start the Sugarcane farming,ratoon technique allows us to harvest two or three years continuously.This makes farming more easier and less job intensive.Even though we can do this for more years,after each harvest the productivity decreases.So it is not advisable after three years.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure requirement for Sugarcane farming is very less compared to other type of farming.Even though the infrastructure requirement for producing sugar and all may require some investment,there are plenty of Mills available in India.So for a medium farmer no need to worry about the initial investment as these mills are ready to buy the raw canes at any time.
Application of Precision farming
New technologies like Precision farming and Greenhouse farming is possible in sugarcane farming.This helps Farmers to do more water conservation,increase productivity and make the farming more cost effective and profitable.
Provision of combined farming
Sugarcane farming can be combined with other farming businesses like Dairy farming,Goat farming etc.The bye-products can be used for producing Organic manures.Thus we can integrate Sugarcane farming with other businesses and generate more income.
