Ten-Year R&D Plan
In June 2024, SRA released its Ten-Year Research and Development (R&D) Plan 2024-2034 to chart our course for investment in research, aimed at addressing key issues and critical challenges faced by Australian sugarcane growers and millers. The purpose of the R&D Plan is clear: to bolster the industry’s competitiveness, productiveness and sustainability through innovative R&D while benefiting the regional communities within which the industry is located. The Plan aims to steer investment in research on behalf of the Australian sugarcane growers and millers and the Australian government to improve the profitability and sustainability of the industry using an integrated approach across five R&D programs including: Varieties, Agronomy & Farming Systems, Crop Protection, Milling & Processing and Adoption.
