Sugar cane is a tropical plant, but can also grow in subtropical regions. It requires 7 to 9 hours of strong sun per day and an annual rainfall of at least 600mm, but preferably up to 2400mm iat certain times during its growing season to grow productively. It prefers temperatures between 24 and 300 C and will die back with temperatures below50 C. At temperatures above 350 C sugar cane wilts.
The North and South Islands of New Zealand are not suitable for productive sugar cane growth, both because of temperature and because of rainfall.
