  1. Introduction of new varieties for cane development By ( M.Irfan Arshad ) Credit & VO Help Officer CMP-II, Govt. of Punjab, Agriculture Dept.

  2. IMPORTANCE • Sugarcane is one of the most important cash crops of Pakistan. Pakistan ranks 5th in cane area and production but 7th in sugar production and 11th in yield per hectare but lowest in sugar recovery among the 12 major sugarcane growing countries of the world. The largest cane producers are Brazil, India, China and Thailand. Pakistan has to compete with these countries in cane yield and sugar recovery to compete in the world market. At present, the country is not even producing cane as much to meet the need of the industry. Total cane requirement of the industry is 68 million tones while total production is 54.87 million tones from which only 40.48 million tones is available for the industry. Thus, 27.52 million tones more cane is required. Hence total cane production should be 82.3 million tones which can not be obtained by increasing the area due to competition with other crops.

  3. -2- • Therefore, increase in cane yield per hectare is the pre-requisite. To full-fill the requirement of cane from the existing 1.02 million hectares, the yield level will have to be improved upto 80 t/ha as against present yield level of 53.10 t/ha. Similarly, for the survival of the industry and remain competitive in the international market at Rs. 18/- per kg sugar rate, the industry will have to produce sugar @ 11.00 % recovery at the existing sugarcane price of Rs. 60/- per 40 kg cane against the present recovery level of 8.69 %. Thus for extra recovery of 2.31% introduction rather multiplication of high sugar varieties is the need of the time for the survival of the industry (Table-1, 2 & 3).

Tops as fodder for livestock bagasse and trash as fuel. Employment:Direct: 40000 people (4000 highly qualified, 16000 semi-skilled & 20000 unskilled) Indirect:0.7 million people

  5. Table-2 IMPORTANCE OF SUGARCANE CROP IN PAKISTAN By-Products: Alcohol, Vinegar, Confectioneries, animal feed, poultry feed, Fish feed, chipboard, win-board, hard board and plywood. Tops as fodder for livestock bagasse and trash as fuel. Employment:Direct: 40000 people (4000 highly qualified, 16000 semi-skilled & 20000 unskilled) Indirect:0.7 million people

  6. Table-3 Present scenario of cane production and sugar recovery in the country • Mills total crushing capacity = 68.00 m.t. • Total sugarcane production = 54.87 m.t. • Percent utilization = 73.78 • Cane available for crushing = 40.48 m.t. • Extra cane requirement = 27.52 m.t. • Total cane requirement = 82.39 m.t. • Cane area = 1.029 ha • Average cane yield required = 80.00 t ha-1 • Present cane yield = 53.10 t ha-1 • Extra cane yield required = 26.90 t ha-1 • Av. sugar recovery required = 11.00 % @ Rs. 60/- 40 kg cane • At present av. sugar recovery = 8.69 % • Extra cane recovery required = 2.31 %

  7. Over view of cane production and sugar recovery • Total area under sugarcane (2006-07) = 1.03 m.ha • Total cane production = 54.87 m.t. • Total cane crushed = 40.44 m.t. • Total sugar made (78 sugar mills) = 3.518 m.t. • Sugar recovery % (Pakistan) = 8.70 % • (India) = 12.62 % • (Florida, USA) = 10.96 % • (Mauritius) = 11.05 % • (Australia) = 14.50 % • (Brazil) = 13.00 % • Required sugar recovery in Pakistan = 10.50 % • Expected sugar = 4.22 m.t. • Actual sugar produced = 3.518 m.t. • Extra sugar expected = 0.718 m.t. • Value of extra expected sugar = Rs. 17.5 billion • Share of each sugar mills (78 sugar mills) = Rs. 224 million

  8. CAUSES OF LOW SUGAR RECOVERY • Sowing of low sugar varieties • Payment on weight basis • Supply of staled and un-cleaned cane • Late application of fertilizer • Application of water before harvesting • Un-scheduled supply of cane to the mills. • Supply of cane to the mills is not according to the maturity schedule • Poor development work by the mills • Appointment of un-qualified staff • Late planting • Supply of diseased and insect infected cane • Inefficient processing.

  9. SUGARCANE RECOVERY IMPROVEMENT 1. Role of Variety

  10. Variety plays A pivotal role in enhancing cane and sugar yield. The inherent cane yield and sugar recovery potential varies in different sugarcane varieties. However, the yield and recovery potential of a variety can be realized if a variety has a resistance against diseases and insect pests. • At present, average sugar recovery varies from 7.82 to 9.09% with average bench mark recovery of 8.5% (ranging from 6.00 to 9.50%). Whereas, varieties are presented with Sugarcane Research Institute, Faisalabad with sugar recovery starting from 12.50 to 15% with an average of 14.50%. But such varieties need more attention to maintain their purity and health. Such varieties may be tested and multiplied with proper care at the mills farms as healthy seed nurseries for supply to the farmers on exchange basis or at subsidized rates. Thus growing of such varieties will help in vertical improvement of cane and sugar yields as area under sugarcane can not be increased due to competition with other crops.
