Module 9: Sugarcane Productivity Constraints & Government Initiatives
Reasons for Low Sugarcane Productivity:
- Shortage of high-yielding varieties (HYV) of sugarcane.
- Only 25-30 percent of the area under sugarcane has irrigation facilities; canal water is scarce during April-June.
- Inadequacy of technical knowledge among growers.
Key Government Interventions:

- Incentives for inter-cropping with sugarcane and diesel subsidy for irrigation.
- Seed multiplication through Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research (IISR), Lucknow, and Sugarcane Research Institute (SRI), Pusa.
- Incentives under the National Food Security Mission (NFSM) for intercropping.
