Technology Transfer Strategy 2025: Science applied to productivity

During 2025, technology transfer at Cenicaña has focused on closing productivity and sustainability gaps by strengthening technical capabilities and adopting digital tools throughout the value chain.

Pillars of impact in 2025:

The implementation of the transfer agenda during the year has focused on four critical areas:

Precision water management: Technical training programs in gravity irrigation and Administrative Irrigation Control (CAR) were implemented, using measurement methodologies such as the RBC channel and volumetric flow measurement to optimize the use of the resource in strategic basins.

Intelligent nutrition and fertilization: The adoption of the Fertilization Expert System (Sef version 3.0) has made it possible to unify concepts of plant nutrition and promote the rational use of fertilizers based on soil analysis and productive potential.

Sustainability: The capacities of small and large producers were strengthened in quantifying the carbon footprint and using the Gotas application for water balance management.

Factory efficiency: Training in standardization of foreign matter assessment contributes to the quality of raw materials in the manufacturing process.

Effective technology transfer not only communicates knowledge, but also ensures its adoption to guarantee a resilient, competitive and environmentally responsible agribusiness.

Technology transfer by 2026

As part of the strategy to close the 2025 management year and prepare for the 2026 cycle, specialized technical material was delivered to professionals and technical staff of the sugar mills.

This action included the distribution of the Cenicaña 2026 Calendar, a reference tool that integrates detailed technical information on six sugarcane varieties, facilitating the identification of agronomic and productive attributes in the field. Simultaneously, the Dissemination Series No. 21 was distributed, which focuses on agronomic management and limiting factors for sugar production in the Cauca River Valley.

The central objective of these deliveries is to ensure the continuity of technology transfer, providing stakeholders in the sector with updated scientific inputs that optimize planning and strategic decision-making from the beginning of next year.
