From cane to crystal: sustainable, resilient, high-yield, and premium sugarcane. Powered by AI-powered digital transformation
Sugarcane, a tall perennial grass, contains a high concentration of sucrose (sugar), making it the world’s largest source of sugar. They thrive in warm, humid climates with ample sunshine and rainfall, like tropical and subtropical regions. Uses of sugarcane include a source of sugar, ethanol production, biofuel for electricity generation, and as a key ingredient in animal feed.
Major challenges
Sugarcane cultivation faces significant challenges from climate change and extreme weather, which severely impact yields and quality, while pest and disease pressure remains a constant threat. Compounded by price volatility, operational inefficiencies, and slow technological adoption, the industry struggles to meet growing demand sustainably.
