CANEGROWERS working to boost Australian sugar access into US

CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan was in the United States with Australian Sugar Milling Council CEO Rachele Sheard and Economics and Trade Policy Director David Rynne, working to improve access for Australian sugar.

The trio met with senior officials from the US Department of Agriculture and the US Farm Bureau's Policy and Government Relations team. They also attended a roundtable on World Trade Organisation reform with Australian Embassy officials and US commodity representatives from the soy, dairy, wheat, seeds, and rice industries (pictured).

"With the US market so important for Australia, it is important to build relationships that seek to maximise the opportunities for Australian sugar to get access and also to work with the US on reform options at the WTO to bring about a resolution to the case we won against Indian export subsidies," Mr Galligan said. •
