Enough talk on electricity, governments must walk the walk and guarantee lower prices In light of the disappointing Federal Government decision on the National Energy Guarantee, consumer and end-user groups (the
‘Group’) representing regional and urban communities have joined together to hold state and federal governments accountable on
achieving price reductions for reliable electricity across the nation.
The cost of electricity used to be a source of competitive advantage for Australian industries, now our electricity costs are amongst
the highest in the OECD. This is harming our international competitiveness and economy, providing poor outcomes for
consumers, and disproportionately and negatively impacting vulnerable consumers and communities. These conditions are
clearly unacceptable.
In June 2018, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) released the Restoring electricity affordability &
Australia's competitive advantage report, providing 56 recommendations across the electricity supply chain that, if implemented,
will reduce electricity prices by at least 20-25% Australia wide by 2020-21. It is now up to state and federal governments to accept
and implement these recommendations.
The Group is seeking that all levels of government commit to:
implementing the ACCC recommendations that will achieve a minimum 20% average electricity price reduction within
the next four years;
establishing annual targets on achieving this price reduction target so the
public can hold government to account; and
ongoing consultation with industry and consumer groups
on the design and implementation of the ACCC
recommendations.
Over the past decade, there has been a myriad of government
reviews on the energy sector that has yielded very little tangible
outcomes, with electricity prices doubling for most consumers.
All levels of government will be held accountable by the Group
if ACCC recommendations are not implemented, and there is a
failure to achieve the very conservative target of a 20%
electricity price reduction within four years. There is no more
room for political manoeuvring or passing the buck.
Participating organisations include: Australian Council of Social
Service (ACOSS), Bundaberg Regional Irrigators Group,
Canegrowers, Consumer Action Law Centre, National Irrigators
Council, National Farmers’ Federation, NSW Farmers’
Association, Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC),
Queensland Farmers’ Federation, St Vincent de Paul Society
(Victoria).
The ACCC has recommended that Queensland, NSW and
Tasmania take immediate steps to remedy the past over-
investment in networks through a voluntary write down in the
RAB. With surplus capacity in place and network plans for
further increases in the RAB, electricity tariffs represent a
substantial charge for services that are not being supplied and
will not be required in the next five-year regulatory period."
"It’s clear there is no need to augment the networks in the
foreseeable future to meet the needs of agriculture."
"CANEGROWERS is calling on the development of efficient
network tariffs that enable economic development across the
state, rather than tariffs that tax activity and reduce Australia’s
international competitiveness.

Wilmar buys sugar trading competitor Singapore press reported last week that Wilmar has bought the
sugar trading book (both raw and refined sugar contracts) of
rival Bunge for an undisclosed amount.
The sale is part of Bunge’s plan to minimise the company’s
exposure to its sugar unit which has been struggling.
New York based Bunge continues to own mills in Brazil.
The ANZ Smart Farms and Agtech Forum: Future of Farming
with Precision Agriculture, Big Data and Robotics provides a
invaluable platform for agriculture industry experts to address
Smart Farming challenges, share knowledge, inspire new
ideas and forge strategic partnerships.
The conference is being held 3-5 December at the Sydney
Convention Centre.

ACCC releases report on small business, agriculture and franchising This week the ACCC released the latest edition of Small
Business in Focus report. It highlights the ACCC’s
developments and outcomes for small business, including the
agriculture sector, over the first half of 2018.
The ACCC were contacted by 179 agricultural traders with
reports and enquiries. Small Business in Focus gives statistics
on the types of issues raised, with concerns about potential
misleading conduct or false representations made by business
operators featuring prominently.

Growers urge action against sugar dumping With the world sugar price now well below the cost of
production in Australia, Queensland sugarcane farmers are
urging an escalation of government pressure on countries
dumping subsidised product on the world market.
“With the appointment of Senator Simon Birmingham as Trade
Minister, we will be seeking to make sure he fully understands
the importance of this issue to our industry,” CANEGROWERS
CEO Dan Galligan said.
“The world raw sugar price (ICE-11) has fallen to a ten year
low recently because there is a surplus on the world market
and that surplus is bigger than it should be because India and
Pakistan are exporting subsidised sugar.
“We have no issue with countries providing supports for their
farmers but when that support distorts trade because
subsidised surplus sugar is pushed onto the world market
causing prices to collapse – we get angry.
“At the current levels, the Australian sugar industry is facing
massive losses in the vicinity of $500 million this year.
“A large part of that is money lost from the incomes of
thousands of farming families.
“We are efficient producers of a quality export commodity
which earns the Australian economy more than $2 billion a
year.
“But we cannot compete against subsidies provided by other
governments which may in fact breach World Trade
Organisation rules.
“CANEGROWERS is urging the Australian Government to take
all steps available, to open a dialogue about this situation with
India and Pakistan and, if necessary, initiate formal action in
the WTO to have the trade-distorting subsidies removed.”
The Australian sugar industry is working with counterparts in
the other sugar exporting countries including Brazil, Thailand
and Guatemala on legal and economic investigations which
could support action in the WTO.

✓ Provided input to the AER’s Consumer Reference Group responding to the draft RoR guideline.
✓ Met senior officials from the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) to discuss CANEGROWERS concerns about Energy Queensland’s approach to network pricing for its Ergon and Energex networks. AER shared our view that it is better to have CANEGROWERS’ concerns addressed in the early stages of EQ developing its regulatory proposal and TSS for 2020-25 rather than later in the process and undertook to informally raise the issues and concerns with EQ.
✓ Provided input to the development of the response to the AER’s draft Rate of Return Guideline being prepared by the AER Rate of Return Consumer Reference Group.

Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) ✓ CANEGROWERS attended the Office of Industrial Relations (OIR) - Rural Industry sector standing committee meeting. The
main issues were:
There is a definite swing towards WHS compliance. Notices are being issued to rural businesses and then advice. The horticultural industry has been targeted to date.
The WHS Queensland Codes of Practice have been reinstated as part of regulations. From 1 July 2018 duty holders are required to comply either with an approved code of practice under the WHS Act or follow another method such as a technical or industry standard if it provides an equivalent or higher standard of work health and safety to the standard required in the code. OIR has been requested to ensure that this is well communicated.
Cane Fires ✓ CANEGROWERS have followed up with Queensland Fire and Emergency Service to start discussions on issues relating to
the Commissioners Notice. This is work in progress and Districts offices will be engaged once relevant reform structure is in place.

CANEGROWERS Queensland … taking up the fight on all issues affecting cane farmers
Biofutures ✓ A follow-up meeting was held with Lazuli Professional Services who have a project funded by SRA to determine what the
industry believe are the most appropriate investment options in research to address alternate income from sugar cane. This was mostly around how they engage with the growing sector of the sugar industry.
✓ CANEGROWERS attended a Queensland Biofutures Biochar workshop. The Deputy Director - Governor’s Office of Planning and Research from California addressed the workshop on progress and options for biochar in California.
Reef Regulations ✓ Met with the Department of Environment and Science to discuss the proposed reef regulations and the current status of
nutrient management plans and sediment practice regulation.
✓ DES is still working to a December 2018 timeframe.
✓ QCGO has scheduled a follow up meeting in the coming weeks and will continue to engage with DES on this issue.
✓ Met with Department of Environment and Science to discuss the reef regulations and the recognition framework for BMP programs that allow growers accredited in BMP to not be targeted by regulations as they comply with the law.
OGBR Data Project ✓ OGBR has started a project to understand what data is available on fertiliser, cane yield and application. OGBR consider
there is greater scope to get data to support nitrogen use efficiency, DIN targets and practice change.
✓ The project was put to tender and won by Agtrix, the business who created Agdat.
✓ QCGO met with Agtrix last week to understand the project objectives and outcomes.
✓ OGBR has contacted districts about the project via email.
Smartcane BMP ✓ New marketing and communication materials have been distributed to BMP facilitators, including fact sheets, posters,
banners templates and videos. A four-page spread in the new edition of the Australian Canegrower magazine launches the next phase of BMP delivery.
✓ Participated in a discussion on the Rules of Thumb project being undertaken by DAF, which is looking for consistency on key messages for improved practices in each of the farming industries operating in the reef catchments. Efforts by this project to date have created a list of practice improvements for grazing, sugarcane and bananas, all of which were already well described in the respective industry BMP programs. Feedback from the SmartCane BMP team has focussed on avoiding further duplication of effort, and on looking for opportunities to add value. This will require much better consultation and planning than has occurred to date.
✓ Participated in a workshop, convened by the Office of the Great Barrier Reef (OGBR), on indicators of farmers’ attitudes and behaviours with respect to innovation and stewardship. Participants were in broad agreement that the benefits from OGBR measuring such indicators was not clear. Further, there was a general lack of confidence in the methodology put forward for collecting and interpreting data on these indicators.
✓ Work continues on preparation of the technical report for the Phase 2 project that supported BMP delivery from 2015-2018, including analysis of practice data for each district, and collation of influence on practice improvement from facilitator reports.
Reef Alliance Project ✓ Attended the Reef Alliance Project (RAP) Management Committee meeting in Townsville.
✓ The meeting discussed the project reporting and progress, communications including the Reef Awards scheduled for Wednesday 21 November 2018 in Yeppoon, the RAP database and options to continue the RAP through a Reef Alliance Project phase 2 program to be potentially funded through Reef Trust or Great Barrier Reef Foundation.
Reef Extension Program Graduate Dinner ✓ Attended the Reef Extension Program Graduate Dinner in Townsville which celebrated the work of six graduates who were
placed with host organisations in cane, grazing and forestry. The program was part of a QFF-led Rural Jobs and Skills Alliance program. Each of the graduates spoke of their experiences and what they had learnt in the program.
✓ Matt Kealley was MC for the night and the key note speaker was Lawrence Di Bella from the Herbert Cane Productivity Board.
Biosecurity ✓ Attended the Biosecurity Taskforce meeting at QFF with DAF and Biosecurity Queensland. Discussion focused on the BQ
biosecurity strategy and progress towards its implementation by the government.
Index Based Insurance ✓ CANEGROWERS was briefed on the progress of the QFF project investigating index based insurance.
✓ The case studies for the cyclone index based options have been completed and a similar product for specified dry periods is being developed.
✓ The next steps are to test if there is any commercial interest and start discussions with the Queensland Government to see if there is an option to use the concept to offset risk in disaster relief.

Estimated Wilmar 2018 Pool Prices
As at 31 July 2018
Gross Pool Prices are an estimate based on the tonnes hedged and current market price (as at
the last business day of the month) for unhedged tonnage. Allocation Account Amounts begin
the season as estimates and are reviewed and updated on a monthly basis as actual
premiums and costs are known.
For the 2018 Season Production Risk Pool we forecast that the quantity of sugar in the Pool
exceeds the downside risk to the crop (i.e. at the commencement of the Season, the Pool is
greater than 30% of total estimated PPA sugar). Accordingly the Pool Manager has
commenced pricing that portion of the Pool that exceeds this downside risk to the crop.
The monthly pool price report is available on the Wilmar grower web
