The CANEGROWERS Policy Council, which met in Brisbane this week, has recognised and congratulated sugar mill workers across Queensland for their efforts in delivering a smooth start to the 2025 crushing season.
As north Queensland’s cane farmers face a disaster of unprecedented scale, CANEGROWERS is urging the State Government to align with other states by assisting growers with the cost of replanting lost crops.
CANEGROWERS is working with the Queensland Government's disaster preparedness team, as severe weather threatens cane-farming communities across the state's north.
Another crushing season has ended, and once again, Queensland’s sugarcane growers are counting the cost of a broken milling sector.
There’s something truly special and iconic about sugarcane. Grown along 2000km of Australian coastline, from Grafton in northern New South Wales to the fringes of the Daintree in the tropical far north, it’s been a cornerstone of Queensland’s identity for over 150 years.
Queensland's sugarcane farming families will spend this Christmas counting the cost of yet another delayed harvest, with updated industry analysis finding that poor milling performance throughout the year which caused crushing to continue into the wet season could cost growers over one-hundred million dollars in 2024.
