Investment in research is a key priority for ASMC members. Each grower and sugar manufacturer contributes levy funds each year to Sugar Research Australia (SRA). SRA invests these levies and matched government funds on research, development and adoption activities to improve the sector’s productivity, profitability and sustainability.
Sugar Research Australia
The Australian sugar industry contributes an average of $24 million annually to fund research activities via the industry owned company, Sugar Research Australia. This industry investment attracts more than $6 million each year from the Federal Government as part of the Government’s commitment to rural research and development.
