Model Answer

Two factors responsible for the shift of sugar mills towards southern and western states are:

  1. Higher sucrose content — The sugarcane grown in these states has a higher sucrose content, making it more suitable for sugar production.
  2. Longer crushing season — The cooler climate ensures a longer crushing season, increasing productivity.

(Bonus: cooperatives are more successful in these states.)

Source: Sugar Industry, Chapter 6

Explanation

The answer is directly from the passage on the Sugar Industry. Examiners expect these specific points: higher sucrose content and longer crushing season due to cooler climate. Avoid vague answers like "better climate" — use the exact terms from the textbook. Two distinct points are needed for 2 marks (1 mark each).
