Sugar Industry Guidance Group Industry Reform Plan
The Australian Government, as part of the Sugar Industry Reform Program (SIRP) 2002, established an Industry Guidance Group (IGG) to drive the reform process, oversee the adoption of a regional business approach to industry activities, maintain appropriate communications with the government, and develop a cohesive policy direction for the structural adjustment necesssary to ensure long term sustainability of the sugar industry.
Part of the IGG's term of reference required it to present an overarching Industry Reform Plan.
The Sugar Industry Guidance Group's Industry Reform Plan looks at the key drivers that are likely to impact most on the industry in the future and puts forward a series of goals and strategies to achieve an internationally competitive and sustainable sugar industry.
The Sugar Industry Guidance Group's Industry Reform Plan is now available to download:
