Celebrating cane and conversation at Sugar Cubed

Brisbane’s about to get a little sweeter.

In just a couple of days, cane growers, researchers, innovators and industry leaders will come together at the RNA Showgrounds for Sugar Cubed – a new kind of event for the sugar industry, and one we’re really proud to be hosting.

It’s not your typical conference.

Sure, there’ll be panels, field trips, and plenty of good conversation – but more than anything, Sugar Cubed is about connection. It’s a chance for people who care deeply about the future of sugar to come together, share their ideas, and start the kinds of conversations that can shape real change.

Queensland’s sugar industry has been a constant in our state’s story for more than 150 years.

From Mossman to Rocky Point, cane farms have fuelled communities and powered regional economies.

And while the core of what we do remains the same – growing sugarcane – everything around us is evolving.

That’s why events like Sugar Cubed matter. They give us space to step back from the day-to-day and think bigger.

We’ll be hearing from forward-thinking growers, tapping into world-class research, and learning from people both inside and outside the industry who are facing similar challenges – and finding smart solutions.

With the 2024 harvest just a few weeks away in many districts, this is also a timely reminder of the resilience and hard work that defines our growers.

It’s not an easy job, but it’s a rewarding one – and we’re always looking for ways to do it better.

Sugar Cubed is about more than just ideas. It’s about taking those ideas and turning them into action – for a stronger, smarter, and more sustainable future for our industry.
