Lucknow: Sugarcane Farming in Uttar Pradesh touches a new high with average cane Production reached 815 quintals per hectare in 2020-21. The average sugarcane production in the last financial year was 811 quintals per hectare.

In fact, nine of the top 10 districts are from the agriculturally prosperous western UP. There are 45 sugarcane growing areas in the state.
Additional Chief Secretary (sugarcane development) Sanjay Bhoosreddy Said that the high sugarcane production was a result of the practice of cutting the crop which was used in the sugarcane cultivation season of 2020-21. He said that due to timely payment of sugarcane price and linking farmers with new cropping techniques, there has been an increase in sugarcane production.
