Agriculture

Our Agriculture operation is tasked with the responsibility of contributing to increasing the profitability of Ubombo Sugar by being the leading, most cost-efficient producer and supplier of sucrose in the region. This entails consistently achieving high sucrose yields that underpin profitability and strong cash flow, production of good quality cane to maximize factory recoveries, and achieving operational excellence to reduce cost of production.
‍
Through our Agriculture operation, we are able to manage over 11 000 hectares of land and produce 1 million tons of cane. The balance of the cane volume (1.2 million) required by the Factory is sourced from private growers. The Agriculture operation provides expertise in Crop Production, Agricultural Optimization, Agricultural Engineering, Grower Agriculture and Risk Management.
