Transport inefficiencies contribute to delayed deliveries, spillage losses, and overfermentation, leading to reduced sucrose recovery and farmer frustration.
This theme will cover:
-
Deployment of digital transport management systems for cane tracking, delivery time logs, and route optimization.
-
Redesigning cane transport contracts to incentivize timely and loss-free delivery.
-
Addressing issues of pilferage and unregulated middlemen.
-
Promoting cooperative or shared logistics models to reduce duplication and waste.
Innovations in vehicle fleet management, GPS tracking, and real-time weighbridge alerts will also be explored.
