The Australian Sugar Milling Council (ASMC) has released its 2025-26 Federal Pre-Budget, highlighting this important role that the Sugar Manufacturing Key can play in tackling national challenges. In response to emerging global uncertainty, presenting this is emphasizing the need for more active industry policy in response to the industry’s further uncertainty because international trade rules are under pressure, including the Indian government’s Chinese exports. Recent decisions to resume are also included.
Australia’s CEO Ash Salar Denny said Australia’s commercial provocative industries, and workers and communities depending on them are facing growing global trade, which threatens long -term processes.
“This is not generally common. As a sector that exports more than 80 % of its production, we need a strong industry and government response to ensure that we are competitive in the rapidly changing global economy. Stay
In addition to the uncertainty around the foundations of international trade, the changing climate is having a profound impact on the sugar communities, which affects harvesting, crush and our supply chain infrastructure. Extreme weather events that were once twenty -five years or fifty years now occur every five to ten years.
“The federal budget gives the government and the industry an opportunity to work together on a new approach to tackling these challenges.”
Sugar Industry is the second largest agricultural exporter in Queensland and the fourth largest sugar exporter (2023/24) in the world, which has supported approximately 23,000 jobs and 4 4.4 billion annually in the national economy. What is cooperation
“With the help of the right industry, we can continue investment, innovation and regional development in Queensland. We have a plan, and with official purchase, we can support well compensated regional jobs, Cheap base loads can provide renewable power, and can increase Australian fuel safety through bio fuel.
According to the press release, the ASMC has called for a new strategic partnership between the government and the industry to improve productivity, increase international competitiveness, and take advantage of emerging economic opportunities. A department can not realize only or any sector.
Presenting the ASMC’s pre -budget, a strategic path outline has been outlined for the future of the sugar industry. Recommendations include:
- National Bio -Energist Fed Strategy Strategy Establishment The Australian Feed Stocks have developed the future of our energy in Australia – this is more than economic mandatory, it is a matter of national security.
- Privileges Sugar Base Loads Increase Capacity of Renewable Power This can reduce Queensland’s wholesale electricity prices by 10-15 % by forward estimates.
- Developing Desi Bio Fuel Supply China in North Australia Supporting Australian defense capabilities, securing both national and fuel safety.
- Ken Rail Fund: Investing into critical infrastructure, including sugarcane rail and level crossing upgrade, to remove the ground square points, which has compromised with our productivity and international competition.
- Advanced Sugar Manufacturing and establishing Center of Excellence for AI This will provide R&D and technology transfer capabilities, which will ensure that Australian sugar manufacturing is ready to get the opportunities presented to us in an everlasting global market.
“It’s the right time to work together to secure a sustainable and flexible future for the sugar industry and the government. With the correct policy settings, we can turn today’s challenges into long -term opportunities for Australia. Salardini concluded.
