Answer
(a) Two reasons why sugarcane cultivation is gaining importance in Peninsular India are:
- Sugarcane has a higher yield per hectare and a longer harvesting season in the south.
- Cultivation of sugarcane yields better quality of the crop in south owing to the favourable maritime climate free from the effects of summer loo and winter frost, sufficient irrigation and new farming techniques.
(b) One problem of sugarcane growers of Uttar Pradesh is that the farms are far from the mills and a delay of more than 24 hours between harvesting and crushing reduces the sugar content.
