Mackay imports sugar from Thailand

IT'S like selling ice to the Eskimos: about 40,000 tonnes of Thai sugar is being shipped into Mackay to top up dwindling reserves after a disastrous, waterlogged harvest. Sugar Australia, which is owned by Sucrogen and Mackay Sugar Limited, is importing raw sugar to boost stores at its Racecourse refinery, which supplies the industrial and consumer sugar market and markets the CSR Sugar brand.
