Abstract

Andaman and Nicobar Islands have tremendous potential for development of cane resource. A comprehensive cane management plan is required for' development and utilization of the resource. However, success of the management plan largely depends on data and other information on which it is based. Therefore, it is necessary to collect basic information before drawing a plan. In order to have an idea about the cane resource in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a case study was undertaken to assess cane resource in Middle Andaman and for collection of other useful information. The same has been discussed in this paper.
