INSPIRING CHANGE, ENRICHING LIVES
Through inspiring initiatives across employees, communities and society.

01

Structured Varietal Substitution Programme

To secure our sugarcane supply, we diversify varieties and enhance disease resistance by replacing vulnerable strains with high-yield, climate-resilient alternatives. We rigorously test and multiply superior varieties in collaboration with leading research institutions. Our digital tools, including GPS mapping and real-time tracking, help monitor crop performance and guide farmers toward best practices. This integrated approach boosts yields, improves recovery, and supports sustainable growth.

02

Yield Improvement through Agronomic Innovation

We enhance yields by adopting scientific agronomic practices like advanced planting techniques (trench planting, wide-spacing) and ratoon management. These methods improve crop density, root development, and multi-season viability, maximizing productivity per hectare.

03

Active Farmer Engagement & Model Demonstrations

Through farmer training, workshops, and high-yield demo plots, we showcase modern techniques that boost yields by 40-50%. Farmer Field Days and peer-to-peer mentoring foster practical learning and community-driven adoption of best practices.

04

Integrated Crop Protection & Surveillance

We employ real-time pest and disease monitoring, drone-based pesticide application, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to ensure eco-friendly, efficient crop protection. This minimizes chemical use and promotes sustainable farming practices.

05

Farm Mechanization & Technology Integration

By conducting soil health analyses and promoting balanced fertilization, we optimize soil fertility. We also encourage organic farming practices, such as bio-fertilizers and organic amendments, to enhance soil structure and biodiversity.

06

Integrated Crop Protection & Surveillance

We introduce advanced machinery (harvesters, planters) and digital tools (IoT, real-time advisories) to improve efficiency and reduce labor. Training and financial support ensure farmers adopt these technologies for higher productivity and better supply chain management.
