Sugarcane – a sweet staple of Australia’s agricultural landscape, grown by hardworking farmers along a 2,000 km stretch of the country’s east coast.

From Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan to Malaysia, over 85% of the raw sugar produced in Australia finds its way to these destinations, satisfying the sweet tooths of millions.
