The Green Cane Project: A Sustainable Revolution in Organic Sugar Production
When it comes to organic and sustainable sugar production, Country Farm Organics Raw Cane Sugar stands as a shining example. At the heart of its production is the Green Cane Project, an initiative by the Balbo Group that has transformed the way sugarcane is cultivated and processed. Since its inception in 1987, the Green Cane Project has led the way in sustainable farming, preserving the environment while ensuring high-quality organic sugar for consumers worldwide.
A New Approach to Sugarcane Farming
Revolutionizing Harvesting Methods
Traditional sugarcane harvesting often involves burning fields to remove excess foliage, which releases harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The Balbo Group has changed this practice by introducing mechanical harvesters that eliminate the need for burning. These harvesters not only collect the cane but also leave behind a layer of green straw that protects the soil from erosion and moisture loss. This technique helps maintain soil fertility while reducing environmental impact.
Soil and Water Conservation
The Green Cane Project incorporates organic fertilisation and soil conservation techniques that enhance biodiversity and improve soil health. Organic by-products from the sugar industry, such as vinasse and filter cake, are returned to the fields as natural fertilisers. The soil is tilled only once every 6–7 years to prevent degradation, and specialised machinery with high flotation tracks reduces compaction, promoting better water infiltration and plant growth.
Biological Pest Control: Protecting Crops Naturally
Chemical pesticides are a major concern in conventional agriculture. The Green Cane Project employs biological pest control to maintain a balanced ecosystem without harming the environment. Two key methods are used:
Targeted Biological Control: Beneficial insects that prey on sugarcane pests are bred and released into the fields. This natural approach ensures pest populations remain under control without the use of synthetic chemicals.
Induced Biological Control: The project continuously monitors pest and predator populations to maintain ecological balance. This adaptive strategy minimises outbreaks while preserving biodiversity.
Eco-Friendly Industrial Processing
Sustainability extends beyond farming to the industrial processes used to refine raw cane sugar. The São Francisco Plant, where Country Farm Organics Raw Cane Sugar is produced, follows strict environmental guidelines to ensure minimal impact. The organic sugarcane is processed within minutes of harvest, preserving its purity and quality. The facility uses:
Mechanical juice extraction instead of chemical processes.
Filtration techniques that separate impurities, which are then repurposed as organic fertilisers.
Energy-efficient evaporation and crystallisation methods to produce raw cane sugar with high sucrose content and natural flavor.
Quality and Certification
The commitment to sustainability and quality is evident in the multiple certifications earned by the São Francisco Plant. These include ISO 22000 for food safety, BRC Certification for the food industry, and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and HACCP protocols. Every step of production is monitored to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and traceability.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Beyond producing premium organic sugar, the Green Cane Project prioritises social and environmental responsibility. By using organic inputs and reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals, the project lowers production costs while benefiting the environment. The initiative also fosters economic growth by generating employment, supporting local communities, and promoting sustainable farming practices worldwide.
