Serving the farming community
Farmer is the major link in the supply chain of a sugar unit. Farmers co-exist with sugar unit and vice versa. The interests of the sugar unit and the farmers are complementary to each other. The cost of sugarcane supplied by the farmers constitutes nearly 70% of the total cost of producing sugar. Special emphasis is laid by DSIL on the cane development and welfare of farmers. Cane developmental efforts are directed towards improvement in the quantity and quality of sugarcane produced. Efforts towards quantitative development:
- Prompt payment to farmers for sugarcane supplies
- Seminar and awareness programs to educate the farmers of the latest techniques to improve the yield per hectare.
- Free and subsidized distribution of pesticides and fertilizers.
- Watershed management with the help of assimilation of data through satellite and highly sophisticated equipments
- Land reclamation with the help of satellite data.
- Fiscal assistance in the form sponsoring function for distribution of credit cards to farmers under the aegis of banks

Raising the bar through innovative excellence
Agriculture technology, biotechnology and manufacturing technology are some of the key focus areas of our R&D, which also encompasses soil testing at our state-of-the-art soil-testing laboratory in Dwarikesh Nagar. Modern technologies are continuously evolved and developed at our centre to boost output and improve efficiencies, to the benefit of all stakeholders.
Hybrid seeds are development at the R&D facility and then distributed to the farmers to boost cane productivity. We also have a bio-pesticides laboratory to develop pesticides for seed and crop protection. We make extensive use of remote sensing for accurate geological surveys of the command area by using satellite images for enhancement of yield and sugarcane growth.
