BURDEKIN DISTRICT MANAGER
Queensland Cane Agriculture and Renewables Ltd (“QCAR”) is a very progressive, intuitive, and commercially focussed Organisation representing agricultural producers across Queensland.
QCAR and its cane membership base desire the concept of a circular bioeconomy where essentially ‘we grow it, we process it, and then we recycle any waste product back (through a biorefinery) to produce numerous renewable bioproducts and bioenergy’.
Diversifying sugarcane processing away from solely crystal sugar production both spreads financial risk for growers and industry but also offers the potential for greater industry income and regional economic power.
We are actively looking to engage with and support people and projects which are in direct alignment with our underlying objective to promote and develop concepts that integrates sugarcane diversification with values of sustainability and environmental stewardship while ensuring the long-term growth, viability, competitiveness, and profitability of the industry for the benefit of our respective farming colleagues, incumbent millers, industry stakeholders and their underlying communities now and into the future.
