A vital component of Karnataka's agricultural economy, sugarcane production supplies the raw materials needed for sugar mills, produces ethanol, and generates electricity. Although sugarcane production is significant, there is a significant amount of geographical heterogeneity in productivity and output in Karnataka. The intricate interactions between meteorological conditions, soil properties, agricultural techniques, and socioeconomic variables give birth to this heterogeneity. This study examines the primary elements that contribute to spatial variability in sugarcane output throughout Karnataka. It does this by examining the ways in which meteorological variables such as rainfall and temperature, soil characteristics, agronomic practices, and socioeconomic circumstances affect productivity variations between regions
