Abstract	The present study was conducted in Lakhimpur district of Uttar Pradesh to identify and analyze the major constraints faced by sugarcane growers in production and marketing. The primary data were collected from 200 farmers using a pre-tested interview schedule. Garrett’s Ranking Technique was used to prioritize the constraints. The results revealed that the major production constraints were the problem of wild animals, late payment to farmers, and high infestation of weeds, pests, and diseases. The most critical marketing constraints were weighment disputes, large number of intermediaries, and transpiration losses. These findings highlight the need for improved institutional mechanisms for timely payment, pest management, market regulation, and infrastructural development to enhance sugarcane productivity and farmers’ income in Lakhimpur district.
