Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just under 330,000 tonnes of cane for the week. It was a slow start to the week with mills re-starting after a two-week stop due to wet weather. Throughput was also impacted by continuing industrial action.
The season-to-date total is 2.89M tonnes represents 35% of the Burdekin region’s revised estimate of 8.20M tonnes.
The average weekly CCS was 13.74, which was well below budget due to the wet field conditions.
The highest CCS sample of 16.5 was from a rake of Q240-PL in the Inkerman (Inkerman) productivity district.
As always, please remember to take care as you approach cane rail crossings as mills are now back in full production.
