On October 6, we had the opportunity to accompany Azucarera during the celebration of the Best Beet Grower of Andalusia 2022 Award, a meeting in which farmers were able to learn about the Sucrose Curve developed by HEMAV together with Agroteo, on which we have worked together for the past 5 years and which has already been put into operation in both the southern and northern beet-growing areas.
Thanks to this tool we have managed to increase the percentage of sucrose obtained in the last season. The Predictive-tech tool allows us to know the optimum state of maturity of the crop and to decide the exact moment to harvest More and more farmers are deciding to use this platform, and we were very excited about the award received by a young farmer from Andalusia, who obtained better results in his production thanks to the use of precision farming tools. Clearly an example for the sugar beet community.
During the day, we had the opportunity to talk with the real players in the field, learn about their concerns and the challenges that the next season will bring. Undoubtedly a day that inspires us to generate more precision agriculture tools that can give more support to continue improving sugar beet production in Spain.
