Abstract (AB)A Geographical Information System for sugarcane lands, GISCANE, has been set up since 1992, following the donation of a copy of PC Arc/Info by ESRI to MSIRI. After surmounting the teething experience, some application developments are underway to promote this new technology in the sugar industry, as a decision-support tool. Variety appraisal, productivity assessment, and digital terrain modeling are examples of application that are being used presently. Development constraints encountered are mentioned and future strategies elaborated.
