- Non-delivery options: Worried about delivering your estimated sugar this season? QSL growers with committed pricing have multiple options to address in-season production reductions, including:
- Reallocating your Harvest Pool tonnage to meet your committed sugar pricing
- Shifting tonnage between ABNs
- Rolling pricing forward to the next season
- Unwinding pricing
Should you come up short, you have an obligation to pay QSL any wash-out costs associated with your shortfall under the Pricing Pool Terms. But rest assured that we will work with you to find the lowest-cost option available within the current market for your particular pricing position, and where possible, any wash-out costs will be factored into your remaining Advances payments. Contact your local QSL team for more information.

- Have you finished harvesting your 2021 crop? If you are a grower who has either cut out or will cut out before your local Mill’s crushing conclusion date, please ensure you notify your local QSL team. This helps us with your payments and planning. It is also important for growers in our Self-Managed Harvest Contract who may be eligible to price their production buffer.
- Advance rate increase: The QSL Standard Advance Rate will increase to 72.5% from 17 November 2021. QSL’s Accelerated Advances option is also available for the 2021 Season and increases your Advance rate to 90% in December for tonnage priced using our Guaranteed Floor and/or grower-managed pricing options. Nominations for Accelerated Advances close 30 November 2021 and can be made via the QSL App or QSL Direct Portal. Click here for more information.
