Business Essentials

Cane growers manage their farm businesses in one of the world’s most volatile commodity price environments.

CANEGROWERS, with funding from the government Farm Business Resilience Program, has developed a suite of professional development opportunities for growers.

What is CANEGROWERS Business Essentials?

CANEGROWERS Business Essentials program provides hands-on tools for growers, provided through a series of workshops.

Workshops are suitable for all skill and confidence levels, and this year will be provided FREE of charge. It is best attended by both the people who are responsible for working the paddocks, as well as those managing the office, finances, and admin to cement the connection between production and profit.

You will also receive information about obtaining support and accessing funding to be better prepared for drought.
