The equipment operations component of the growing, harvesting, and transporting phase of the supply chain is extremely critical, as inefficiencies or ineffective harvesting or transportation of sugar cane from the growers to the mills results in substantial losses for both growers and the mills, and ultimately harms consumers and workers through higher prices for sugar, and increased pressure on producers to cut costs. Cane intends to create more efficiency in the supply chain by focusing on various aspects of harvesting or transportation operations, specifically focusing on operating equipment in these processes.
