Description: Sugar cane production is mainly located in the North Western region of the country with Kano State accounting for 30% of the national production (NBS) (2009). The border states of Kano, namely Jigawa, Kaduna and Kastina, represent respectively 8%, 13% and 13% of the domestic production. Two other regions remain important in terms of production: (Kebbi and Sokoto) as well as the North East (Taraba and Adamawa).
The 8 states mentioned above represented 86% of the total production in 2009-2010 (USDA, 2010) but most of the states in the country have reported production of sugar cane even if it refers to very small amounts.
