The Commodity System Analysis (CSA) of Sugarcane has been presented by SUGARol group from the University of the Philippines Los Baños who took ABME 103 (Agribusiness Systems and Modalities).  

Sugarcane, or Saccharum officinarum, is the Philippines’ 3rd agricultural crop in terms of area planted/harvested and value. Despite this, the total area planted/harvested for sugarcane is still low, at an average of 400,000 ha overall and 5 ha per farm, as compared to other major agricultural crops in the country, such as rice which averages 1,500,000 ha of area harvested. This leads to an imbalance of domestic supply and demand in sugarcane and sugar, low yield and productivity, and low income of sugarcane farmers and sugar millers.
