        The sugarcane industry is a pivotal force in the agricultural perspective. It is essential to promote process innovations in sugarcane planting for sustainable growth and competition. This study was conducted to analyze the effective key factors of process innovations in the sugarcane industry. It is applicable from an objective aspect and the required data was collected through qualitative methods and meta-synthesis. This method systematically studied thirty-three articles related to the research objective among 405 primary articles. Final articles were selected based on inclusion criteria. The validity of the research was confirmed based on the inclusion criteria, holding sessions with members of the research team, the use of an expert, and examination of the whole process for theoretical consensus. Reliability was also determined via the Critical Appraisal Skills Program. The effective dimensions and components of process innovation in the sugarcane industry include four dimensions, namely steps of innovation in the sugarcane production cycle that have been identified in the form of 45 components. The four stages of this cycle are "innovation in the process of planting", "innovation in the process of growing", "innovation in the process of harvesting" and "innovation in the process of processing". As the sugarcane industry follows innovation complexities, this research presents a map to understand the multi-faceted perspective of the process innovation. Through the classification of the components in vital stages, stakeholders achieve insight into transformational strategies and reinforce sustainable methods that are technologically advanced in sugarcane planting.
