Mackay Sugar in the starting blocks for the new crushing season 2021

The weather conditions with good rainfall from November 2020 to January 2021 and a good distribution of rainfall in the months February to April promoted cane growth. While other regions in Australia were affected by cyclones and floods, MSL growers in Queensland were spared.

For the coming harvest, an above-average crop is therefore expected in the MSL growing regions. To ensure that all the sugar cane can be processed, as was the case last year, colleagues in the mills are working flat out to complete maintenance and investment projects in time for the start of the Crushing Season (campaign). The focus is on sugar drying, evaporators and pressure vessels, for example.

The start of the Crushing Season is planned for the three sugar mills in Australia for the first half of June.
