Detailed Solution

The major sugarcane producer in south India marked in the map is Maharashtra.
Sugarcane is a crop of hot and humid climates. It requires an average temperature of 21 to 27 degrees centigrade and 75 to 150 cm of rainfall. Some sugarcane-producing states are Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. It makes sugar, gur, khandsari, and many other products. India stands as the second-largest sugarcane producer, following Brazil. It is a weight-losing crop because its sucrose starts decreasing as soon as it is harvested from the field. So it is important to use it within 24 hours of harvesting by the sugar mills. For this reason, sugar mills are set up near its fields.
