Certified sugar mills steward producer data for certification and assurance, yet face scattered buyer requests and receive little value in return. With rising ESG and traceability demands, mills, suppliers and downstream users need clearer value from data, consistent formats, and trustworthy ways to exchange information across the supply chain.
This project will enhance data access and data use for Bonsucro-certified mills and their suppliers by creating value-driven, accessible data reports aligned with certification and key reporting frameworks. Reports will empower producers with insights into their data (e.g., fertiliser use, GHG emissions) trends, and allow performance benchmarking. The project will also ensure reported data is interoperable with traceability systems through mapping current technologies, platforms, and data standards, to enable streamlined data exchange.
A secure, user-friendly system will automate report generation and make data easy to access, export and share, with outputs tailored to certificate-holder capabilities. These improvements will help suppliers showcase performance and ensure data is usable across the value chain, building market-relevant information, data confidence, and innovative data use.
