Emails that are currently sent advising members of member notices and information regarding important sugar industry news will be linked to our new Kalagro website where only our members have exclusive viewing.

The link in your email that you click to open notices (as you do with the QSL Updates) will be opening to the new KCGO website.

Here, members log in to view the content of the email by clicking the KCGO Member News tab.

This will allow more information to be made available to you from the one place –

Kalamia’s Information Hub – which includes:

·         Magazine editions

·         Member Classifieds

Also:   General Information – which includes:

·         Daily Sugar Prices

To make sure you can access the exclusive member only information as well as the websites’ many sugar related general news, you are invited to register as a KCGO website member user in the manner described in the August edition of ‘What a Sweet Life’ magazine.

Please call the office if you require our assistance with this process.

Dear Kalamia Members,

CSA Update

Dear members,

KCGO and BDCG met with all the other industry groups in Townsville on Monday to exchange information as to where we were with our respective discussions with Wilmar and to hear where the grower groups supplying the BIM ( Bundaberg Isis and Maryborough) mills saw the OSA discussions between QSL and the BIM mills as heading.

All felt frustration about where they were up to with their Wilmar discussion/negotiations and BDCG is probably more advanced in our position than any of those groups.
BDCG’s position will be advanced again on Monday when KCGO and BDCG are meeting with Wilmar in Brisbane to discuss the changes we have proposed to their Agreements and to push ours again.

A positive outcome from this meeting is critical and given the delays to accessing Forward Pricing that you have all had to bear already, further delays will not be seen as acceptable.

We assure you we will be using our best endeavours to get you a result as quickly as possible.
