THEIR SERVICES
Their unique experience and expertise in sugar
Booker Tate has extensive experience of analysing, planning, developing, managing and operating successful sugar, ethanol and bioenergy businesses around the world. Building on this solid foundation, they offer world-class products and services to the international sugar industry.
They have a proven track record in developing greenfield sugarcane-based projects, and in the rehabilitation and expansion of brownfield projects – bringing them to a successful conclusion on time and within budget.
They also offer a range of specialist technical services aimed at improving the performance and profitability of their clients’ businesses.
Drawing upon their extensive international experience, their parent company’s sugar operations in South Africa, and their worldwide network of contacts, Booker Tate is also uniquely positioned to benchmark industries against international best practice and identify performance improvements.
Other Agribusiness
While they are well known in the sugar industry, they also have considerable expertise to offer non-sugar agribusiness. Many of the skills they possess are common to other crops and the technology they apply is transferable between sugar and other crops.
How they operate
They cover agricultural and factory functions and thereby provide ‘joined up’ solutions. They execute all elements of an assignment in a highly professional and cost-effective manner.
They work in partnership with clients, not in isolation, and deliver their services in accordance with a well-defined brief. They are independent of equipment suppliers and are free to offer truly independent advice in the best interests of the client.
