Ratoon management is an essential part in cane farming. In Thailand, most cane can provide up to 4 to 5 ratoons In Brazil, good cane planation can produce as high as 6 ratoons for one cane stalk. High ratoon means lower planting cost as farmers only plant once but the cane can be harvested several times before replanting again. For Mitr Lao, most cane can only provide 1 to 2 ratoons. This leads to a higher cost of cane.
