MSF Sugar

MSF Sugar, whose heritage in Australia spans more than 125 years, envisions a future that centres on being a leader in the biofutures sector. With multimillion-dollar investments in green power plants, novel farming systems and agricultural infrastructure, together with our grower partners, we are committed to developing the sugarcane industry in Australia. Our company employs between 400 to 600 people (dependent upon the season). We are a large sugarcane farmer, with a land and water portfolio of $100m. Our farm operations cover over 2,000ha on the Cassowary Coast and we grow around 180,000 tonnes of cane from our company owned farms. Our Corporate Head Office is located in Gordonvale, just south of Cairns and our major milling assets are located in Far North Queensland. Internationally, we are part of the Thai-based Mitr Phol Group. Our current assets include three sugar mills, which are located at Gordonvale, South Johnstone, and the Atherton Tableland; supporting infrastructure (including cane railway networks), agricultural property and water rights to support our cane growing activities. In addition to our milling and farming operations, we have built an $86M green energy power station at our Tablelands Sugar Mill. The power station uses a 100% renewable sugarcane fibre known as bagasse to produce 24 megawatts of electricity – which, after commissioning, will be enough to power every house in the Atherton Tableland region.
