Wilmar Sugar and Renewables has locked in its 2026 pre-season crop estimate at 15.19M tonnes for the Wilmar group.
General Manager Cane Supply and Grower Relations Dave Zeller said the pre-season estimate was about 960,000 tonnes up on last year's total throughput of 14.23M tonnes.
The estimated crop is also above the Wilmar group's five-year average of 14.95M tonnes.
The regional crop estimates are:
· Herbert - 4.1M tonnes
· Burdekin - 7.97M tonnes
· Proserpine - 1.67M tonnes
· Plane Creek - 1.45M tonnes
Mr Zeller said start dates for Wilmar’s eight sugar factories would be announced after his team consulted with grower representatives in each region.
