SRA invests in a range of research projects related to milling efficiency and technology, and product diversification and value addition. We communicate outcomes of these activities through a range of media including events, scientific publications, magazines, enewsletters and webinars.
As the Australian Sugar Year Book is no longer published, SRA publishes select statistics on the sugarcane harvest with the permission of sugar milling companies.
Further information and statistics is available from the Australian Sugar Milling Council.
The 2020 Regional Research Seminars will be conducted as a series of five one-hour webinars via Zoom.
Every webinar is recorded and hosted on our website to allow those who weren’t able to participate on the day to watch the webinar later or, for those who did participate, to view it again.
You MUST register to attend these FREE webinars or to gain access to the recording if you are unable to attend on the day.
The SRA Milling Webinar series provides milling staff with the opportunity to learn more about milling research topics, as well as discuss the information being presented, and provide input and feedback.
Every webinar is recorded and hosted on our website to allow those who weren’t able to participate on the day to watch the webinar later or, for those who did participate, to view it again.

These methods have been developed over time to suit the conditions and circumstances of the Australian Sugar Industry. Where applicable, the methods have been developed along existing ICUMSA guidelines and include lists of relevant source material.
The Laboratory Manual for Australian Sugar Mills will be reviewed from time to time or as required by the Australian Sugar Industry Alliance, seeking appropriate technical input from Australian sugar mills and other qualified experts.
