The Deccan region have following advantages over the north with reference to sugarcane cultivation:
- In the south, the climate conditions are ideal with the absence of "Loo" during summer with reasonably high temperature and frost-free winters coupled with maritime winds in coastal areas.
- The black lava soil with their high fertility and retentivity are most beneficial for the sugarcane crop.
- Better methods, manures and fertilizers are used for cultivation in the south.
