In agribusiness, productivity is measured by four combined factors: soil, manpower, capital, and material resources. The measurable quality and quantity of each farming factor will result in a Total Factor of Productivity (TFP) as determined by industry guidelines. This growth accounting is a practical way of measuring output, but what sets each agribusiness apart is the freshness of the produce and how quickly the crop gets from farm to table.
Susen Agriculture consistently scores high marks in TFP. The company’s mango growing and harvesting in the province of Yunnan have set it apart from the competition. The operation yields 20,000 tons of mango annually, making Susen a major global supplier. But, it is the freshness of Susen crops, harvested at the right time, processed through efficient sorting and packing operations, and transported quickly by a vast distribution network that makes Susen Agriculture better than the rest.
Productive Farming and Harvesting Practices
Denis Shkutko, owner and operator of Susen Agriculture, has implemented many modern farming practices that not only increase productivity but also help local farmers maintain a quality of living. The company continues to help meet the demand for fresh produce by contracting local farmers who use innovative technologies for increased crop yield and harvesting. This way, Susen is able to get the best prices during high season and harvesting and pass those savings on to customers.
The farmers selected by Susen must have demonstrated quality industrial farming methods, including the use of modern machinery, automated irrigation systems, and innovative farming methods that increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. These farming practices go a long way in making the produce easier to store and transport.
Efficient Supply Chain Management
Transportation has a direct impact on the quality and freshness of produce shipped around the world. Shkutko has enlisted a staff of logistics experts who develop supply chain optimization practices that are pivotal to delivering fresh products to the public. Today’s transportation networks are complex, but Susen uses digital technologies to maintain shipping and delivery visibility across different countries and multiple shipping partners.
Shipping and handling networks must have built-in resilience, according to Denis Shkutko. This means the ability to identify heightened risks such as natural disasters, different trade regulations, and geopolitical tensions across the board, first. Then have redundancy protocols in place, which include alternative or back-up supply chain operations ready to take over.
Freshest Fruits and Vegetables
From planting to cultivation and from fertilizing to harvesting, Denis Shkutko demands its Co-Op farming networks use best practices for high-production farming. This includes quality seeds and cultivation methods, along with modern harvesting techniques to make sure produce meets and exceeds expectations across the world. Critical to these operations are the temperature and humidity levels at which the fruits and vegetables are stored and transported.
In transport, produce will generate heat due to respiration or the process by which the fruit or vegetables stay alive. During respiration, carbohydrates in the food will combine with oxygen to produce heat, water, and carbon dioxide. If temperatures are too high, the vegetables and fruit will have higher respiration rates - ripening by a rate of two to five times faster for every 10-degree Fahrenheit rise in temperature.
For this reason, Susen Agriculture uses a cold-chain transportation system that keeps both fruit and vegetables at their lowest recommended storage temperature. Susen transports its produce as cool as possible for as long as possible to deliver the freshest fruits and vegetables to customers around the world.
