UNIFICATION UPDATE
Dear Member
You may have recently become aware of an article posted on Queensland Country Life webpage on 12th March, click here, as well as other media over the weekend of Agforce’s desire to establish a standalone cane group under its representative umbrella with discussions currently being held with Invicta Combined Growers Organisation.
KCGO was informed by ICGO on Thursday 5th March that their organisation had executed a “Memorandum Of Understanding” with Agforce and were currently in negotiations to develop a proposal as to how this could look going forward. Discussions are in its infancy and no further details are available/were provided at that point. Other collectives up until this point had no prior knowledge that a formal approach had been made to Agforce.
Subsequently a number of collective meetings took place last week and KCGO is unable to at this point comment on likely impact on unification concept.
Further advices will be issued as information comes to hand.

Manager KCGO
