Mackay:
The Mackay area mills crushed 204,095 tonnes of cane with an average PRS of 15.24 for week

Mossman:
Mossman Mill crushed 35,939 tonnes of cane for Week 17 of the season, at an average CCS of 13.76.
The mill had a major steam off maintenance day during the week, which contributed to most of the
downtime. The plants evaporators are also limiting rate. This week (Week 18), we plan to have a stop
to boil the evaporators to help increase rate. The mill has now crushed 553,904 tonnes of cane at an
average CCS of 12.04.
