Signals tracked for Map My Crop
The public records we read for Map My Crop, ordered by how close each sits to a grower group's next season decision. Every group on the Accounts tab came out of one of these classes.
How we rank a signal
Two questions decide it: how close is the record to the moment a group's agronomists need a field-by-field read, and does the group have its own agronomy or cane team to use one. A filed statement beats an announcement, and an announcement beats a job post.
One signal is a lead. A filed shortfall plus a monitoring gap at the same group is a window worth a call.
Closest to the season decision
Weeks before the crush or harvestStatements a listed group makes because it must: earnings calls, annual reports and sustainability filings.
Cane shortfall on the record
Management tells investors cane is short in a region or guides crush down. Cane teams have to find the fields that will deliver before the mills start.
From this screenEID Parry: on its August 13, 2026 call the sugar COO guided Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh crush flat or down about 5%.
Filed cane-area risk with monitoring still a pilot
An annual report lists falling cane area as a risk while its own crop monitoring is described as a pilot in select areas.
From this screenBalrampur Chini Mills: its 2025-26 annual report lists falling cane area as a crush risk and AI irrigation monitoring as a pilot.
Growing grower bases
Current seasonPlantation and contract-farming programs that add growers faster than field teams can walk them.
Grower base growth in a sustainability filing
A listed company files a jump in hectares and farmers under its program, with a named field team behind it.
From this screenPatanjali Foods: its September 5, 2026 filing puts its oil palm program at 1,10,722 hectares and 80,579 farmers.
Screened out
Checked before a group reaches the Accounts tabSatellite mapping already in place
A mill whose own filing says satellite mapping already covers its cane area is not a first call.
From this screenDwarikesh Sugar: its 2025-26 annual report says allotted cane areas were mapped with satellite-based surveys.
Groups already in Map My Crop's channel
Mills running AI cane pilots through the Baramati programme may already be on Map My Crop, so they are left for Map My Crop to confirm.
From this screenShri Sant Tukaram Cooperative Sugar Factory: its AI and drone pilot with KVK Baramati covered 21 farmers in May 2026.
Job postings
An agronomist posting confirms a team and its workload. It does not open a window on its own.
What each group arrives with
- The group and the dated public filing behind it, linked to the source
- The person or role that owns cane or plantation development there
- A first line for the call and the correction, so outreach never claims more than the record shows
Signal classes describe categories of public record and how often we read them. Per-group claims live on the Accounts tab with their sources.
