SUGAR
Sugar
cane is grown commercially in Australia along the east coast over a
distance of about 2 100km in a number of areas from Maclean in
northern NSW to Mossman in Queensland. More recently it has been
grown in Western Australia.
About
990% of production occurs in Queensland with 75% of the crop grown
north of the Tropic of Capricorn in areas where rainfall is reliable
and the warm, moist and sunny conditions are ideal.
