Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just under 355,000 tonnes of cane for the week. Equipment failure at the Townsville Sugar Terminal caused lengthy stops at Pioneer and Invicta. Despite this, Pioneer still exceeded the budgeted throughput.
The season-to-date total is now 5.16M tonnes, which represents 63% of the Burdekin region’s crop forecast of 8.20M tonnes.
The average weekly CCS was 14.75, which is still slightly below budget but improving with the ongoing dry conditions.
The highest CCS, of 18.2, was from a rake of Q240 1R in the Mulgrave (Invicta) productivity district.
Remember to always use your train brain and give way to trains at road crossings.
