Sugarcane productivity has been exhibiting stagnating trend over the last about
10 years. The present study has examined the pattern and level of use of production
inputs on 237 acres, involving 100 farm respondents. The results of the study showed
that low productivity in sugarcane originated mainly from low investment on important
production inputs/practices. Productivity differentials among the selected farmers were
seen directly related to level of investment for increased productivity. The returns on
investment in improved sugarcane technology/practices were calculated using discrete
analysis technique. The results appeared very attractive.
