CANEGROWERS has called on Wilmar Sugar and unions representing mill workers to do everything within their power to resolve an ongoing pay dispute that continues to disrupt the 2024 cane crush.

The race is on to get Mossman’s cane crush underway, following confirmation the State Government would chip in up to $6 million towards the cost of transporting the cane 100kms south to MSF’s Mulgrave Mill.

CANEGROWERS is calling on the State Government to give primary producers impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper more time to apply for and conduct works under disaster recovery grants.
