Administrative / Biographical history

The Australian Sugar Milling Council represents Australia's raw sugar manufacturers and exporters. The Australian Cane Farmers began in 1907 as an association of farmers and millers known then as the Australian Sugar Producers Association. In 1987, the company decided that the milling half would split off to form the Australian Sugar Milling Council (ASMC), while the farming half was renamed the Australian Cane Farmers Association (ACFA). The Australian Sugar Milling Council was established to represent Australian raw sugar mill owners. Owners of all Australian raw sugar mills are members of this voluntary organisation.
