Mackay Sugar seeks to recapitalise core operations

On 18 September 2018, The Australian reported that Mackay Sugar is looking to recapitalise its core Mackay operations and sell or shut its Mossman facility.  Commentary has suggested it is battling a large debt load and is likely to be taken over by a Brazilian sugar corporation.

Mackay Sugar has told farmers supplying the Mossman Mill that it will be shut down at the end of the year unless it is sold in November. It was stated that AUD20m is needed from the Federal government in the next two months before the growers’ purchase deal with Mackay expires and the mill shuts. The state government is being canvassed for AUD10m.

The news follows the announcement of an AUD250,000 grant at the start of September from the Douglas Shire Council supporting the cooperative’s acquisition.
