Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just under 380,000 tonnes of cane for the week, which was above budget and the highest weekly throughput for the season to date.
The four mills have now processed more than 2.5M tonnes of cane, which represents 30% of the forecast 8.47M tonne Burdekin crop.
Production was impacted this week by a number of planned and unplanned stops as well as industrial action. The opportunity was taken during the stoppages to carry out necessary maintenance work.
The average weekly CCS was 14.57, which was above budget.
The highest CCS sample of 18.4 was from a rake of Q240-PL in the Mulgrave (Invicta) productivity district.
As always, please remember to take care as you approach cane rail crossings. Our cane trains operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the season.
