The Australian Sugar Manufacturers (ASM) has today submitted a bold vision to the Parliamentary Inquiry into Sugarcane Bioenergy Opportunities in Queensland, calling for a $40 million investment package to transform the sugar industry into the centrepiece of Australia’s renewable energy and low carbon liquid fuel future. Representing an industry that supports over 20,000 regional jobs, the ASM outlines how Queensland’s sugar industry can leverage it feedstock (cane juice, molasses, and biomass) to become a national leader in biofuels, biogas, cogeneration, and biomanufacturing — if governments and industry act together.

The report estimates total sugar output at 41.42 million tonnes, up from the previous season’s figures, driven by favorable weather conditions, improved cane yields, and steady investments in modern milling technology. Analysts attribute the rise to higher sugar recovery rates and a possible shift in the ethanol-sugar production balance, with mills likely to allocate more cane towards sugar due to firm global prices.

The country’s sugar industry is now projecting a significant expansion into regional export markets, according to the Tanzania Sugar Producers Association (TSPA). With domestic demand comfortably met, producers are turning their attention to neighbouring countries such as Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda.
