Collaborative innovation in the sugar-energy sector
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Caña Sin Fronteras (CSF) is an innovative initiative that redefines collaboration in the Latin American sugar industry. With a unique focus on field operations, CSF stands out for addressing how technologies and tasks perform in daily practice, complementing other proposals like congresses or field days. Its primary focus is on unresolved "problems" faced by sugar mills, leveraging peer experiences to simplify and accelerate learning.
Digital channels to identify those interested in adoption of technology
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The interconnection of networks, devices, and data that characterizes Agroindustry 4.0 not only allows for the collection of large amounts of information that can be used to automate agricultural processes but can also be used to increase the speed of adoption of the technology promoted by Cenicaña.
Disaster struck: a case study of structure, communication, and data collection from South African sugarcane growers
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025An increase in extreme weather events is highly correlated with climate change, which is progressing faster than ever. Unfortunately, the precise timing and severity of many such weather events and other negative phenomena in the global sugarcane sector are difficult to forecast.
Evaluation of the efficiency and costs of implementing a sugarcane harvest transportation and logistics system in a sugar mill in eastern Bolivia
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Implementation of offline technologies integrated with communication tools and management systems can provide effective solutions for sugar mills aiming to optimize their harvest logistics and reduce costs. This study evaluated the efficiency and operational costs associated with the implementation of an integrated offline technology to optimize sugarcane transportation and logistics at the Guabirá sugar mill in eastern Bolivia.
Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural practices in sugarcane: a bioenergy approach in Tucumán, Argentina
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025In the search for sustainable agricultural systems, it is essential to quantify the environmental impacts of various management practices to make informed decisions on farm sustainability and achieve positive ecological outcomes. This study aims to estimate GHG emissions in sugarcane production under the agroecological conditions of a locality in Tucumán, using different nitrogen fertilizers and considering the collection of harvest residues for potential bioenergy use at a sugar mill.
Inside or outside: when is open innovation relevant to accelerate and scale processes and products?
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025With the premise that not all smart people work for your company, the Colombian Sugarcane Research Center-CENICAÑA began searching for partners to establish collaborative pilots for startups that had advanced solutions for some challenges requiring accelerated technological development processes. With the guidance of a group of corporate venturers and a network of entrepreneurs, CENICAÑA launched a call to the entrepreneurial ecosystem for open innovation.
Predicting illegal burnings for effective risk management in the Guatemalan sugarcane agroindustry
