“…Similarly, sugarcane growth stages need different amounts of rainfall for development and plant growth to occur. Additionally, the overall response to waterlogging is captured by the negative impact of reduced productivity of 80% (Misra & Ansari, 2022). The crop water requirement for sugarcane is between 1100-2000 mm (James, 2004;Hall, 2015).…”

The potential impacts of climate change and sugar cane production is well documented in the literature but majority of the studies have focused on models that look at national level impacts. This paper presents a global impact model on sugar cane production due to variations in temperature and rainfall with the intention to observe the collective challenges that sugar cane production is facing with across the world. The study conducted a trend analysis with time series data for sugar cane production, productivity per hectare of sugar cane lands, annual temperature and annual rainfall recorded for the top sugar cane exporters across the world. The study also developed a panel regression model to empirically establish the relationship between production levels and temperature and rainfall. The findings of the study showed that production levels are increasing in some countries while declining in others. Cyclical patterns of production was also observed that seem to vary with cyclical patterns of rainfall. The regression model showed a positive relationship between production and rainfall and a negative relationship between production and temperature. The main conclusion drawn is that as global temperatures continue to increase, then there will be a global decline in the sugarcane industry. This global model for sugar cane and climate change is geared towards showing the collective impacts of climate change experienced by different countries and to encourage from an empirical standpoint, more collective policy actions to protect the industry as a global market.
