Making sure extension services are an effective support to growers
What we do
As a professional in the sugarcane sector, you make sure sugarcane arrives at the factory gate, on time & on quality. You make sure your fields are growing good, you make sure your sourcing area has enough sugarcane for the crushing season.
But … how to deal with low yields? How to deal with low sugar content? How to make sure your teams or workers are tackling the priorities? How to make sure fields are delivering year after year? How to keep your input-costs in check? How to ensure your income? How to take the right decision?
SmartCane supports you to take the right decision. With insights on each sugarcane field, each square meter, on a daily basis. Weekly reports include advice, comparisons and forecasts, so you can focus on the priorities and guide your people to get the yields up to potential, delivered at the mill. You can take the right operational decisions, with our data driven support.
Because each decision matters
Yield volumes, tons per ha
Yield quality, more sugar in each stalk
Labour, planning and clear tasks improve labour efficiency and reliability
Inputs, land, water and chemicals are costly

Ensuring your cane supply is reliable
Sugar mills face the challenge of managing a continuous, precisely timed flow of cane from thousands of farms, with fresh cane needing milling within 24–48 hours to avoid spoilage. Misaligned harvesting or transportation can lead to costly shortages or oversupply.
Getting the most out of your sugarcane fields
Sugarcane farmers often struggle to optimize yields due to missed crop signals, field size, and reliance on calendars or guesswork. Small deviations in crop management can mean the difference between 60 t/ha and 90+ t/ha.
Making sure extension services are effective
Extension services linking growers and mills in sugarcane systems face inefficiencies, weak communication, pest mismanagement, and competitive market pressures. Irregular farm monitoring and delayed interventions undermine trust, productivity, and profitability
Partners we work with
Do you recognise this?
Sugarcane yields are lower compared to last year, fields are underdelivering (unnoticed agronomic signs)
Your neighbour is producing more, (as they are applying smart data driven technologies.)
Producers prefer to sell to other factories (short term cash driven decisions)
Trust is difficult between millers and growers, promises without follow up, non-transparent planning, low payment and side selling. Ultimately, little investments are made in the sector

Identifying problematic areas significantly shortened intervention periods, offering the advantage of an extra set of eyes in every corner. It transformed from being just a tool to becoming an integral part of our operations.
