Over the last five years we have developed a commercially viable model that delivers a tailored, grower-centric proposition to build confidence in growing beet. The approach is about much more than price: it is focused on developing a collaborative model that encourages all parties to work together to minimise risk and overcome barriers to growing the crop successfully.
Our team negotiates directly with growers to agree a tailormade model that works for them. This model encompasses all aspects of the growing process including buying the inputs needed to develop the beet crop, selecting the service providers, and defining the responsibilities and workload. This approach means all parties are aligned to deliver the best possible outcomes, resulting in a more equitable share of risk between us, the growers and service providers.
Our collaborative model also gives growers access to Azucarera’s significant data capabilities, which provide valuable insights that can improve yields. Our proprietary ‘Visor’ platform gives growers access to real-time monitoring of crop health, of irrigation levels and of the evolving sugar content in the crop.
Visor aggregates data across our grower sites, offering personalised advice and best practice to individual farms to improve beet yields. Equally, Visor gives Azucarera a significant competitive advantage as growers are incentivised to work with us in order to access this powerful monitoring tool that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
The success is testament to our team’s commitment to collaboration. By promoting a grower-centric approach, underpinned by data and technology, we have significantly increased the growing area and fostered trust and confidence among our partners to grow beet more efficiently and more sustainably.
