Opportunities

Verité is looking for an external consultant to conduct an updated econometric analysis using the most recent harvest data to address key inefficiencies in sugarcane harvesting in Mexico. The ongoing research seeks to understand the impact of wages, constraints for quality, and field productivity on worker earnings and overall industry profitability. The goal is to provide actionable recommendations to improve wage structures, optimize harvesting practices, and reduce economic losses in the sector. The consultant will assess the performance of the compensation model pilot implemented during harvest 25-26, identify gaps and unintended effects, and propose data-driven adjustments to improve efficiency, fairness and economic sustainability.
