ORD sugar industry 1996-2000

摘要

Sugarcane has been evaluaed as a suitable crop for the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) sinced the 1960s. Repeated attempts over the years failed to result in the establishment of a commercial industry. In 1992, the prospects of a sugar industry were again re-examined. This resulted in the construction of a mill with the first cane being processed in late 1995 and the first full commercial crushing season completed in 1996.
