Water Stewardship in Sugarcane and Rice Farming: Micro-irrigation and ESG Mandates for Modern Buyers

Addressing Water Risk in Agriculture

Water-intensive crops, such as sugarcane and rice, are increasingly cultivated in regions facing groundwater depletion. Corporate buyers are prioritizing suppliers who implement water conservation practices.

# Shifting to Drip and Alternate Wetting

Farmers are adopting water-saving technologies, such as drip irrigation for sugarcane and Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) for rice. These methods reduce water consumption by up to 30% without impacting yields.
