Indicative figures for typical conditions — your actual costs and prices will vary.

🪨 Soil: Deep, fertile loam

A well-kept ratoon (second cut) saves the cost of replanting — keep the stubble healthy.
Trash mulching keeps in moisture, holds down weeds and feeds the soil.
Do not delay crushing after cutting — a long gap lowers sugar recovery.
Use only disease-free seed cane — infected setts carry smut and stunting.
Grow short pulses or vegetables in the wide rows early for extra income.
