             abstract = "The sugarcane crop has great socioeconomic relevance because of 
                         its use in the production of sugar, bioelectricity, and ethanol. 
                         Mainly cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries, such as 
                         Brazil, India, and China, this crop presented a global harvested 
                         area of 17.4 million hectares (Mha) in 2021. Thus, decision making 
                         in this activity needs reliable information. Obtaining accurate 
                         sugarcane yield estimates is challenging, and in this sense, it is 
                         important to reduce uncertainties. Currently, it can be estimated 
                         by empirical or mechanistic approaches. However, the models 
                         peculiarities vary according to the availability of data and the 
                         spatial scale. Here, we present a systematic review to discuss 
                         state-of-the-art sugarcane yield estimation approaches using 
                         remote sensing and crop simulation models. We consulted 1398 
                         papers, and we focused on 72 of them, published between January 
                         2017 and June 2023 in the main scientific databases (e.g., 
                         AGORA-FAO, Google Scholar, Nature, MDPI, among others), using the 
                         Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 
                         (PRISMA) methodology. We observed how the models vary in space and 
                         time, presenting the potential, challenges, limitations, and 
                         outlooks for enhancing decision making in the sugarcane crop 
                         supply chain. We concluded that remote sensing data assimilation 
                         both in mechanistic and empirical models is promising and will be 
                         enhanced in the coming years, due to the increasing availability 
                         of free Earth observation data.",
