Sugar Research Australia (SRA) is the declared sugar industry body under the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024. SRA invests in and manages a portfolio of research, development and extension projects that drive productivity, profitability and sustainability for the Australian sugarcane industry.
An industry-owned company, SRA is primarily funded by a statutory levy paid by grower and milling businesses on sugarcane, disbursed under the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024, and Australian Government funds for eligible R&D. The SRA board is accountable to its members through its constitution established under the Corporations Act 2001 and to the Minister for Agriculture through the Statutory Funding Agreement for the expenditure of monies appropriated by Parliament under the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024.
