75 years of the sugarcane sector in Pakistan: milestones, challenges, and transformative prospects
Last Updated: junio 9, 2025Sugarcane is a cash crop that supports Pakistan's economy and food security. This paper presents a historical perspective of the sugarcane industry over the past 75 years, from Pakistan’s independence in 1947 to the present day.
Bird conservation and its impact on sugarcane sustainability in the Cauca River Valley, Colombia
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Birds are a fundamental component of agroecosystems due to the goods and services they provide, including pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control. Despite these benefits, birds have been overlooked in biodiversity conservation planning for sugarcane crops in Colombia.
Carbon footprint of sugarcane farming in Colombia: enhancing crop sustainability
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Over the past 9 years, the sugarcane agroindustry has made progress in measuring its carbon footprint from cultivation to the production of sugar, ethanol, and energy. Cenicaña has engaged sugarcane growers, who represent 75% of the planted area in Colombia’s Cauca River Valley, highlighting the importance of measuring and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
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.
Development of climate-based innovation solutions for a resilient and sustainable sugarcane industry
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025To reduce climate-related risks through informed decision-making based on reliable information, Cenicaña classified the Automated Meteorological Network (RMA) information into homogeneous groups based on the behavior of important key climatic variables. The study sought to determine the differential productivity behavior of sugarcane within each of the identified groups.
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.
Grower economic data the key to lobbying for grower financial sustainability in times of industry uncertainty and high input costs
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The South African Cane Growers Association (SACGA) has, since 1927 represented growers and provided services in all economic, governance, and industrial affairs. To do this, the Association has needed a strong data-gathering and analysis component to ensure that it can negotiate reasonably and accurately on behalf of its constituents.
