<P> Sugarcane cultivation requires a tropical or subtropical climate , with a minimum of 60 cm ( 24 in ) of annual moisture . It is one of the most efficient photosynthesizers in the plant kingdom . It is a C plant , able to convert up to 1 % of incident solar energy into biomass . In prime growing regions , such as Mauritius , Dominican Republic , Puerto Rico , Peru , Brazil , Bolivia , Colombia , Guyana , Ecuador , Cuba , El Salvador , Jamaica , India , Pakistan , Indonesia , Philippines , Malaysia , Australia and Hawaii , sugarcane crops can produce over 15 kg / m of cane . Once a major crop of the southeastern region of the United States , sugarcane cultivation has declined there in recent decades , and is now primarily confined to Florida , Louisiana , and South Texas . </P>
