From the Chair
From the Chair
The 2024–25 season tested Queensland’s cane-growing families in ways that were as challenging as they were revealing.
From unrelenting wet weather and mill disruptions to a one- in-fifty-year flood in the Herbert, growers faced a year that demanded patience, ingenuity and grit – and once again proved that this industry’s strength lies in its people.
CEO Report
CEO Report
If we are to be honest, this year has been hard yakka!
As our Chairman notes in his contribution to this Annual Report, the 2024/25 season really tested the grit and determination of growers across the state. For all the reasons that have been well stated, we have too much cane left in the paddock, and successive years of standover are eroding value across the industry. As usual, this is felt most acutely by growers.
