Empowering farmers and partnering them in prosperity by knowledge sharing and community development, SCM Sugars Ltd. has introduced comprehensive Cane Development programme.

It is very important that sugarcane of the appropriate variety is available to our sugar mills at the appropriate time and in sufficient quantities. Hence, sugarcane procurement and development are fundamental to our sugar business. In view of the same, we have a separate department with experienced personnel, who handle sugarcane procurement and sugarcane development

Our sugarcane development programme is planned to, inter alia, educate the farmers regarding modern agricultural practices in sugarcane cultivation, supply of seeds, encourage replacement of inferior sugarcane varieties with varieties which are high yielding, have high sucrose content and are early maturing, encourage measures to eliminate diseases and insects/pests in sugarcane, recommend fertilisers based on soil testing, contributing for construction and repair of link roads and culverts, maintenance of drainage systems, etc, for the development of infrastructure to promote sugarcane cultivation.

At SCM the entire process of Field survey Planning, Bonding, Scheduling of Supply tickets, Procurement and Delivery of the harvested crop and Payments has been made systematic, transparent and fast, thanks to Cane Management Software. Money is disbursed through bank accounts of farmers, thereby ensuring a speedy and fair settlement of dues within three working days.
