Question

Give a geographical reason for the following:

The Sutlej-Ganga plains are the traditional growers of sugarcane.

Answer 1

Because the Sutlej–Ganga plains have deep, fertile alluvial soils (renewed by Himalayan streams), a high water table and abundant river/canal irrigation, flat terrain and a warm, adequately rainy climate, all ideal for the water‑loving, long‑duration sugarcane crop.
