The CostCutting4Sugarcane project aims to develop a platform delivering agronomic advice and yield forecasts for sugarcane producers and processors that reduces costs and optimise production. The solution combines SatEO optical imagery, radar-based data and agronomic models. The main users of the CostCutting4Sugarcane service are sugarcane mill
operators and sugar farmers. The project demonstrates the service at two sugarcane mills and affiliated farmers in the Cauca Valley in Colombia. In the short-term the service is offered to sugarcane mills operators and farmers in Columbia and aims to go abroad in a second stage.
