Who We Are
We’re Moving Beyond the Canefields
MSF Sugar has a 124-year heritage in Australia and a future that centres on being a leader in the biofutures sector. With multi-million dollar investments in green power plants, novel farming systems and agricultural infrastructure, together with our grower partners we are forging ahead with a re-imagining of the sugarcane industry.
Our Corporate Head Office is located in Gordonvale just south of Cairns and our major milling assets are located in Far North Queensland and the Fraser Coast region in South East Queensland. Internationally, we are part of the Thai-based Mitr Phol Group.
Our current assets include four sugar mills, which are located at Gordonvale, South Johnstone, Atherton Tablelands and Maryborough, supporting infrastructure (including cane railway networks), agricultural property and water rights to support our cane growing activities.
In addition to our milling and farming operations, we are currently building a $75M green energy power station at our Tableland Sugar Mill. On completion in 2018, the power station will use a 100 per cent renewable sugarcane fibre known as bagasse to produce 24 megawatts of electricity – enough to power every house in the Atherton Tableland region.

The term ‘sugar’ usually refers to what we know as table sugar – the type of sugar we use in baking or add to our tea or coffee. In Australia this type of sugar comes from sugarcane, but the sugar we see on the table is only one type of sugar that is found naturally in a whole range of foods.
All ‘sugars’ are carbohydrates which along with starch is our body’s main source of energy. We rely on sugar for energy – be it for our brains, bodies or nervous system. In fact it has been part of our diets for thousands of years.
Sugar is found naturally in most foods like fruits, vegetables and milk as well as being an ingredient used in a wide range of foods and drinks*.
