In the smallest sugarcane producing countries, cropping practices are many and varied and there are a multitude of plots. In such conditions, it is difficult to estimate production, even though this is a prerequisite for the sustainability of sugar supply chains. Researchers from CIRAD and their partners compared several methods of estimating production based on the vegetation indices supplied by satellites, and observed that the empirical method was the most accurate. They therefore recommend it for use in the smallholder sector.
