It is intended to provide an agent for improving sugarcane Brix which increases the sugar productivity from pressed juice after harvesting and promotes ripening when applied to sugarcane and, therefore, by which a sugar yield comparable to sugarcane harvested at the best harvest season can be established even from sugarcane before reaching the harvest season, which comprises at least one member of the compounds represented by the following general formula (I) wherein A represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, or a hydroxymethylene group; Y represents a carboxyl group, an alkyloxycarbonyl group, a halogenated methylsulfonylamino group or a diphenylmethylideneiminoxycarbonyl group, either in a free form or forming a salt; and R represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a hydroxy-, alkoxy- or alkoxyiminoalkyl group or a 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yloxy group, or Y and R may be bonded together to form a group —C(═O)—O—CH(CH3)—.
