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.
The race is on to get Mossman’s cane crush underway, following confirmation the State Government would chip in up to $6 million towards the cost of transporting the cane 100kms south to MSF’s Mulgrave Mill.
CANEGROWERS has welcomed a temporary suspension of strike action by Wilmar mill workers that has allowed crushing to begin at three Burdekin sugar mills.
As I busily prepare my farm for harvest, and look out over a great crop of sugarcane, it’s hard to imagine better conditions for harvesting Queensland’s crop.

CANEGROWERS is calling on the State Government to give primary producers impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper more time to apply for and conduct works under disaster recovery grants.
