Industry Cloud Story
100% Automation of task management, replacing manual processes
100% Increase in transparency of farming tasks and operations
Using intelligent technology in operations producing two-thirds of the country’s sugar
The Royal Eswatini Sugar Corporation Limited (RES) employs smart agricultural innovations, modern technology, and talented people to create value in a business involving 2,500 farming families across the community. As well as growing sugarcane on its own estates, the southern African sugar and ethanol manufacturer manages plantations and works with third-party growers. To enable these third-party growers to operate efficiently and sustainably with the right advice and services, RES needed greater visibility and standardization of farm and field data. The right solution would help optimize processes while also taking advantage of the latest data science and machine learning innovations. “SAP Intelligent Agriculture empowers our small growers to improve their quality and yields and boost income and profitability while enhancing our own visibility of delivery dates and quantities. This is good for the community and industry as a whole.”
