Sugar Cane crop
As at November 28, 2009, about 88% (30,569ha) of miller-planters’ land had been harvested, an acreage slightly lower than the 30,999ha harvested at the corresponding period last year.
An analysis of cane and sugar productivity based on the harvest statistics for miller-planters for the island as at November 28, 2009 was 83.1 TCH compared to 79.8 TCH recorded in 2008, representing an increase of about 4% over last year’s performance. The recorded island extraction rate of 10.14% was higher than that of the corresponding period in 2008 (9.98%) by 0.16o.
Island-wise, the recorded sugar productivity of 8.43TSH exceeded that of the
corresponding period in 2008 (7.96 TSH) by 0.47 tonne.
Sugar yield stayed more or less stable. No major change is expected until the end of harvest as soil moisture will be available and under the hot prevailing regime, cane will start regrowing.
