As sugar markets become increasingly sensitive to climate patterns and policy shifts, HSAT has introduced a high-precision solution. Its CropGPT-powered forecasting system is delivering up to 98% accuracy, equipping stakeholders in procurement, trade, and risk management with timely, actionable insights.
HSAT’s models encompass the full AYP spectrum—Area, Yield, and Production—by integrating satellite-based imagery, tailored weather analysis, field-level reporting, pricing signals, and regulatory developments. These forecasts are updated every week and undergo validation using HSAT’s extensive field contributor base and four decades of historical data.
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.
