The Cuban sugar industry has experience in the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) since 2001, with the limitation of using proprietary tools and without accessible centralized databases. As a higher step, a Spatial Data Infrastructure (IDE-Azcuba) has been developed by Geocuba for the management of the sugarcane areas of Villa Clara. The IDE-Azcuba manages geospatial images from satellites (Sentinel-2) which allows the calculation of various indices of agricultural importance. For its deployment, this application consumes a large amount of data and is relatively highly complex, which makes it inaccessible to sugar companies and producers. As a solution, a Geoportal is proposed as a light version of the IDE-Azcuba, accessible from cell phones, within the reach of sugar producers and companies. The information on sugarcane variables obtained from INICA's technical scientific services has been integrated into the Geoportal. Such as: Territorial Planning, Varieties and Seeds, Integral Weeds, Fertilizers and Amendments; and Phytosanitary. Having a built-in cache version that allows you to work offline with the most important information, directly in the plantations and productive units, where there are major connectivity problems.
