Grower Support

Ubombo Sugar Limited’s Agriculture function provides support to a number of independent growers, classified into Small Scale Growers (SSG), Medium Scale Growers (MSG) and Large Scale Growers (LSG). The objective is to improve cane yields and ensure sustainability through providing a technology transfer and advisory service to sugarcane growers on all aspects of sugarcane production.

This includes the transfer of research findings approved by Eswatini Sugar Association to the grower, to facilitate the quick adoption of improved agricultural practices. It is through this support that growers also receive training in corporate governance and business skills to aid them in making workable business decisions. Ubombo Sugar’s grower support extends to 134 growers, of which 111 are Small Scale Growers, 10 are Medium Scale Growers and 13 are Large Scale Growers; with each contributing 28.8%, 2.1%, and 22.9% of cane respectively, towards Ubombo Sugar’s total cane supply.
