Bundaberg Sugar is a company involved in all aspects of sugar manufacture, including growing and milling the sugarcane and refining and marketing the sugar. It operates principally in the Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia. As at 2014, the company had over {{Convert|9000|ha|}} of sugarcane plantations.[1]

History

Bundaberg Sugar Company Limited was created in 1972 from the merger of the Fairymead Sugar Company Limited and Gibson & Howes Limited. Through these, the company can trace its history back to 1870 when the Fairymead Sugar Plantation was first establised.[2][3]

Sugar mills

As at 2018, the company operates the following sugar mills:[2]

  • Millaquin mill at North Bundaberg
  • Bingera mill at South Kolan

Innovations

In 2013, the company entered into an agreement with Pacific Gold Macadamias to purchase its waste product, approximately 2,000 tonnes of macademia nut shells each year, which will be burned as a fuel to process the bargasse (the waste product of sugar milling) into biofuel.[4]

In 2014, the company purchased 14 new water irrigators which use 50% less power than the older style and are expected to increase sugarcane yields by 5-10%.[1]
