It was aimed in this work, through the geospatialization and multiple regression analysis, the identification of the suitable, restricted and unsuitable regions for cultivation of sugar cane in Minas Gerais State. It was used temperature and water deficit data from 32 meteorological stations located in the State. The data of water deficit were determined using the water balance according to Thornthwaite and Mather (1955) method. Most of the state is restricted to the cultivation, according to the productivity criteria related with thermal and hydric demands of the culture.
