Queensland’s sugarcane growers have delivered the final word at the State Government’s Inquiry into Sugarcane Biofuels Opportunities in Queensland, with CANEGROWERS closing the inquiry’s final public hearing in Brisbane today.
A shipment of Queensland raw sugar that departed the Port of Cairns on Saturday bound for Japan marked an important milestone for Australian sugar, industry leaders have said.
“Chugga-chugga, choo-choo, here comes the train, rollin’ towards the sugarcane!”
The final truckload of Mossman sugarcane has been delivered to Mulgrave Mill, closing a defining chapter in the region’s history and leaving an uncertain future for local growers.
CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan has described the announcement that MSF Sugar’s Mulgrave Mill will no longer crush Mossman cane as deeply disappointing news for the Mossman district and the wider sugar industry.
CANEGROWERS has congratulated Queensland farmer Hamish McIntyre on his election as President of the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF).
It's time to end the conflict at the heart of Australia's sugar marketing system
