Abstract: Predictive models for the sugarcane crop (<em>Saccharum officinarum</em>) in Durg district of Chhattisgarh have been made. Models have been fitted for the area, productivity and production of the crop separately for above district. Based on these models prediction of area, productivity and production of sugarcane have been made year wise between 1998-99 to 2012-13. The partial compound growth rates of the area, production and productivity of the crop have been also estimated and discussed. Periodic effect of five years as well as annual effects was found to be working in the district based on a postulated and estimated production function of area and productivity. It was found that the major influencing factor on the production of sugarcane was its area. This influence of area was around 89 per cent and productivity was around 11 per cent.
