It's all economics. There's idle land that if the demand raises can be put to plant sugar cane. There's exyensive cattle ranching (as oppososed to confined cattle ranching) that use lots of good land. Those pastures can be put to use for sigar cane.
There's possiblity to adapt new breeds of sugar cane that can make sugar grow in areas presently not used. We did this with soya already. Soya was a crop for higher latitudes we adpated it to lower latitudes. Opened up 2million Km/2 of areas for planting soya.

The only deterrent is lack of knowledge and disbelief on the possibilities. Once possibilitiues are established, we can start exploring all kinds of options.

In Africa they can kick start ethanol production. They just don;t know the possibilities of producing a new cash crop.
