Agave — FruitScout
Optimize your Harvest for:
36% More Production Potential
30% Less Cost Per Kilogram
Introducing
Agave Field Management
The solution for accurately measuring and optimizing agave production.
Agave Field Management® identifies the slow growing fields to harvest first, letting the better performing fields keep growing.
Sauza uses FruitScout, because harvesting just one week early, or one week late, can translate into $5-10M of losses.
With FruitScout you get accurate growth rates to target harvests, delivering a 36% improvement over harvesting randomly.
FruitScout's Agave Field Management is the only solution accurate enough to enable this harvest optimization strategy.

"Our harvest strategy is based on Fruitscout's data and its accuracy. Otherwise, it's just guessing."
General Case
An average agave plant grows about 20% in its final year.
4-5 kg is average weight increase…
… some grow a lot more; some grow a lot less.
The strategy is to identify the fields that grow less, and harvest them first, allowing the faster growing ones to keep growing.
In the general case, there is a 25% improvement over harvesting randomly.
Digital Twin Case Study
Agave Earth Simulation of Realistic Agave Fields
4M plants harvested
5kg - 40kg range at harvest
16kg average at the start of the harvest year
20kg average at the end of the harvest year
Results from different strategies for harvesting the same fields:
Baseline random harvest yields 64.6M Tons
Optimal harvest yields 88.3M Tons
Harvesting from slowest to fastest growing fields results in a 36% improvement over randomly harvesting
