CANEGROWERS Chairman Owen Menkens has urged Queensland’s sugarcane industry to pull together, following the resolution of the long-running pay dispute between Wilmar Sugar and three unions representing mill workers.
Recently, CANEGROWERS published a new episode of our Shed Talk podcast, exploring the problems growers face from feral pigs.
CANEGROWERS has called on Wilmar Sugar and unions representing mill workers to do everything within their power to resolve an ongoing pay dispute that continues to disrupt the 2024 cane crush.
The agricultural industry is worth around $80 billion to the Australian economy every year, and the National Farmers Federation has a strategy to build that to $100 billion by 2030.
CANEGROWERS has welcomed news that Wilmar and unions representing workers at the company's nine Queensland sugar mills have accepted a mediation offer from the Fair Work Commission.
There’s no escaping the fact we’re caught in a cost-of-living crisis, with the price of essentials like food, fuel, and housing going through the roof.
