We are pleased to announce the release of the latest SASRI Mechanisation Reports, developed to support informed decision-making in sugarcane farming.

Why these reports matter

Mechanisation remains a significant cost driver in sugarcane production, accounting for approximately 40% of total production costs. These reports provide critical insights into the cost of operating machinery and complete mechanisation systems, enabling improved efficiency and profitability across operations.

Overview

• Report 1: Costing of individual machines and machinery systems
• Mechanisation Cost Calculator: This web-based calculator is meant to be used in conjunction with Report 1, and allows for easy cost comparisons between different scenarios.
• Report 2: Systems and costs for land preparation, planting, and ratoon management

The reports and calculator are now available from the Mechanisation page on the SASRI website.
