• Global sugarcane industry
• Huge resource – 1.6 billion tonnes
• Established industrial crop
• Sugar and electricity
• Biotechnology
• Bioenergy and bioethanol markets
significant
• Biomass - Sustainable, large resource
• Crop residue already at factory
• Low value component of crop
SUGARCANE IN AUSTRALIA
• Production declined by 20% over last
decade
• Significant changes occurring in
industry ownership
– Has been consolidation in mill and farm
infrastructure
– Production stabilising with better global
sugar prices over the last 18 months
• Medium term outlook for sugar industry
is positive
• Australian sugar industry actively
seeking diversification opportunities –
particularly biofuels and bioproducts
