The 2026 crushing season is already underway in two Queensland cane-growing districts, and most other regions will see harvesters firing up through June.
Queensland’s sugarcane harvest is fast approaching, with the 2026 crush now just weeks away.
Queensland’s move to kick–start a biofuels industry is a major step towards unlocking the full potential of the state’s sugarcane industry, CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan says.
Just weeks out from harvest, Australia’s sugarcane industry has around 5 per cent of the fuel required to complete the crush.
CANEGROWERS has welcomed the release of a parliamentary report on a sugarcane-based bioenergy industry in Queensland, thanking the committee for listening to growers and recognising the role the industry can play in strengthening Australia’s fuel and energy security.
If you’ve filled up lately, you don’t need to be told something’s wrong. Prices are up, availability is tightening, and in some areas fuel is already hard to find.
