Availability of Sugar Cane Field Residues

Data was derived from the following sources: *The extent of sugar cane cultivation was determined from digitisation of maps published in Gers (2003). * This extent was correlated with two additional sources: crop extent published by DAFF (2014), which excludes sugar cane production and could be used as a verification of extent, and Land Use data (FAO, 2011), which could be used to verify the finer extent of cultivation. * Sugar cane theoretical yields were applied from Schulze, Hull, and Maharaj (2007). * The total area and sugar cane production obtained from the above was correlated with published production figures (DAFF, 2014) and good correlation obtained - calculated sugar cane production of 22.5 Mt/a vs. published production in 2013/14 of 21.3 Mt/a. * Ratios of bagasse, sugar, and residue production was calculated from ratios in Hugo (2014) .
