SUGAR CANE CULTIVATION
Our sugar cane cultivation process starts with the selection of the best varieties of sugar cane. We then use modern farming techniques, such as drip irrigation and precision farming, to ensure that our sugar cane receives the necessary nutrients and is grown sustainably. We also implement a range of soil conservation measures, such as cover crops and reduced tillage, to promote soil health and fertility.In addition, we realise that water is essential for an agri-food businesses such as our own. It is important to understand the role of this vital resource. At Zambia Sugar we continue to be innovate, looking at ideally suited irrigation systems for various field specific environments with a focus on using water appropriately. From growing the sugar cane in fields, through to operational processes at our factories, water is essential.
