Sugar Cane Forcast in British India 



This forecast of the sugar cane for the 

 season 1923-1924 is based on reports re- 

 ceived from provinces, which comprise 99 

 per cent of the total area under sugar cane 

 in British India. 



The total area planted with sugar cane 

 is estimated at 2.715,000 acres as against 

 2.392.000 acres at the corresponding date 

 of last year, or an increase of 13 per cent. 

 Weather conditions at the time of plant- 

 ing were generally favorable and the pres- 

 ent condition of the crop is on the whole 

 good; but much depends on the future 

 course of the monsoon. 



The detailed figures for the provinces 

 are as follows:
