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.
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.
The dust might be settling on Queensland Sugar Limited’s Annual General Meeting, but the sense of frustration remains.
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).
