The quality of harvested sugarcane has got significant importance due to the fact that the payments are made on the basis of estimated recoverable sugar in some countries, while in India sugarcane price is paid on weight basis. Therefore, in India it is quite obvious that the growers are more worried about cane weight than its quality while the factory owners on the other hand are worried about the sugarcane quality and hence on ultimate recoverable sugar. Author in present study has discussed the effect of different storage conditions on cane weight on cane variety CoS 94257 and ways to minimize the weight loss in
