Sugarcane is grown mainly along the coastal strip from Mossman and the Atherton Tablelands in North Qld to Grafton in northern NSW. A small-scale industry has also been established in the Ord River district of WA.
There are over 6000 cane farmers in Australia. The majority of Australia’s cane farms are owned and operated by families. Most farms range in size from 30 to 350 hectares, but with a growing trend towards much larger farms.
The total harvested area of sugarcane in Australia is around 400,000 hectares.
The sugar industry is a major focus of the economies in many regional towns. Queensland’s raw sugar industry directly employs more than 15,000 people in the growing, milling, storage, marketing and refining of raw sugar. Indirectly, a further 20,000 jobs are generated.

Planting
Sugarcane is grown from setts (cuttings from mature cane stalks) planted in rows.
Each sett grows a stool (or cluster) of about 8 to 12 cane stalks. As the young cane grows, the crop is cultivated or sprayed with a herbicide to control weeds. Fertilisers are applied to the crop to promote growth.
