Help shape the future strategic direction of SRA

Burdekin sugarcane growers, millers, and industry stakeholders are being invited to attend a local regional forum to have their say on the future strategic direction of Sugar Research Australia (SRA).

SRA is in the process of developing a new five-year strategic plan, which will guide the future direction of SRA's investment in research, development and adoption activities for the Australian sugarcane industry.

SRA CEO Mr Neil Fisher said as part of that strategic plan development, SRA was consulting extensively with investors and the broader industry.

"Our purpose of these forums is to allow SRA to understand your thoughts on key research issues and potential opportunities facing you in your region for further investment in research, development and adoption in the future," Mr Fisher said.

"The upcoming consultation sessions are a chance to talk about research opportunities and the future strategic direction of SRA."

The Ayr regional forum is on Wednesday 8th February at the Kalamia Hotel from 8.30am to 10.30am. To RSVP, please contact Ms Andrea Evers on aevers@sugarresearch.com.au or (07) 3331 3308.

SRA is the Industry Owned Company responsible for investing in, undertaking, and managing a portfolio of research, development and adoption projects that drive productivity, profitability and sustainability for the Australian sugarcane industry.

Sugarcane grower and SRA Delegate, Mr Michael Deguara, encouraged industry to take part in the regional forums.

"This is a chance for growers and millers to have a say on their priorities for SRA, to ensure that SRA understands how the industry can improve productivity at a national level, and a regional level," Mr Deguara said.
