Bayou Sugar Growers Inc

Bayou Sugar Growers, Inc. ("Bayou") was organized, and will operate, for the purpose of (1) improving efficiency in sugar cane supply chains, (2) improving the overall quality of the agriculture product produced by its members (i.e., sugar cane), and (3) improving the working conditions of laborers in the sugar cane industry. Bayou will primarily focus on improving the efficiency of sugar cane supply chains by improving the equipment operation aspect of the sugar cane supply chain. Sugar cane production is an equipment dependent process. Sugar cane is grown, harvested, and transported through use of heavy machinery. The equipment operations component of the growing, harvesting, and transporting phase of the supply chain is extremely critical, as inefficiencies or ineffective harvesting or transportation of sugar cane from the growers to the mills results in substantial losses for both growers and the mills, and ultimately harms consumers and workers through higher prices for sugar, and
