CANEGROWERS Around the Paddock
From global dominance to a shifting market
Apr 23, 2026
CANEGROWERS
Jonathan Williams and Stephen Geldart from Czarnikow join from London to reflect on when Australia led global raw sugar exports and the challenge was finding homes for massive crops.
They unpack how quality, logistics and relationships kept Queensland competitive – and why getting the last call from a refiner still matters.
Stephen brings it to today – a tougher market, Brazil’s rise, and where future demand could come from, from biofuels to new industrial uses for sugar.
