Contracting Solutions
FES provides a wide range of contracting and leasing solutions across the agricultural supply chain using advanced technologies to drive increased yields, productivity and reduce input costs.
Precision land preparation for close to 24 000 hectares annually. Land preparation includes multiple operations such as precision levelling and ridging, ploughing, ripping, herbicide application, mechanised and drone crop spraying and drip irrigation installation.
All are critical for crop production as this optimises the soil structure, planting and seeding operations, directly impacting planting, root development and uptake of nutrients and moisture, which influence the final yield delivery.
FES can assist with infrastructure needs, such as roadway maintenance, field clearance, bush removal, transport/haulage and spreading of the by-products of the sugar manufacturing process, for example, filter mud and vinasse.

Bulk water supply
Looking for a bulk water management solution?
FES uses advanced precision agriculture technology and smart farming techniques to solve challenges across the entire agricultural supply chain, thereby minimising input cost and maximising yield and efficiencies.
The team offers:
GPS-controlled tractor steering and optimised route planning; resulting in reduced fuel consumption, a high-level of accuracy and increased production time.
GPS real-time data collection with accurate positioning, efficient manipulation, and analysis of large amounts of geospatial data. We collect information on soil conditions, improve maintenance of the existing planted crops and generate increased data both before and after harvest time. This reduces the risk of crop failure, causing substantial improvement in bottom-line returns.
