Rabobank, EID Parry and WWF India ink pact

CHENNAI: Netherlands-based Rabobank, Murugappa Group company EID Parry and WWF India have signed an agreement to collaborate on sustainable sugarcane production.

The partnership will produce tools that will track and measure two key issues related to sugarcane production-water use and Green House Gas emissions, a company statement said.

The three year project will be carried out across EID Parry's sites in South India with Rabobank being the facilitator and WWF India providing the knowledge input, it said.

The project would be executed in EID Parry's select facilites in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh which would provide for testing in conditions with different rainfall patterns, irrigation resources and natural water resources, it said.
