RD&E
Encouraging and supporting strong and relevant research
CANEGROWERS strongly supports the industry-owned RD&E organisation, Sugar Research Australia (SRA).
SRA is the major funder and provider of research and development in the sugarcane industry, and advocates adequate funding, which is sourced from grower and miller levies, as well as the Australian and Queensland governments.
Key areas of work:
CANEGROWERS maintains close links and involvement in SRA, participating in committees and reviews. This includes consultation on direction and priorities through SRA’s Strategic Plan and Annual Investment Plan. CANEGROWERS ensures that grower perspectives are heard. Visit the SRA website to find out more about current research projects.
CANEGROWERS supports the ongoing work of district productivity services organisations and encourages the co-ordination of extension activities and efforts across a range of providers where possible.
