In an industry where a single weather event or policy move can disrupt supply chains, HSAT is bringing precision and foresight to sugar forecasting. Using its AI-driven CropGPT platform, the company is achieving up to 98% accuracy, enabling better decision-making across the value chain.
Covering the AYP stack—Area, Yield, and Production—HSAT’s models fuse satellite data, weather trends tailored to sugar crops, in-field observations, market pricing indicators, and government policy insights. Updated weekly, the models are cross-verified with input from over 2,000 global field contributors and a 40-year historical database.
With coverage across Brazil, India, Thailand, EU, Pakistan, and the U.S., CropGPT provides predictive insights for over 90% of global sugar production. The system distinguishes itself by mapping data directly to sugarcane and sugar beet fields—not just regional averages—making it uniquely capable of identifying real agronomic stress before it is reflected in the market.
“Clients don’t just get a forecast—they get a decade of back-testing to prove accuracy,” said Paul Brabant. “We show how rainfall in Maharashtra, plant disease in São Paulo, or a policy shift in Thailand will impact yields weeks ahead of competitors.”
The CropGPT platform also offers weekly global and country-level reports, allowing users to track political events, logistics issues, and environmental risks alongside field-level data. All outputs are available via dashboard, API, or automated alerts, tailored to the workflows of traders, procurement teams, and analysts.
For those monitoring the sugar markets, HSAT’s unique Market Forces system connects pricing, currency, weather, and political variables into a unified map of impact—showing how seemingly unrelated events influence global sugar supply.
