Question

Give a geographical reason for the following:

India produces very little cane-sugar though it is one of the largest producers of sugarcane in the world.

Answer 1

1. Sugarcane requires a lot of water for proper development and sugar production.
2. Due to restricted natural water supplies, farmers in drought-prone areas may struggle to provide enough moisture to their sugarcane fields.
3. Insufficient water availability can cause water stress in plants, impacting their development and sugar content.
