24.01.2022 Maritime has played a huge role in the NSW sugar industry. Until the mid 1900’s, the Clarence, Richmond and Tweed rivers had small wharves dotted all along their banks, from which growers loaded their harvested cane onto punts to be ferried to the sugar mill . Do you have any photos of sugarcane being transported on our magnificent northern rivers waterways to share? #worldmaritimeday #clarenceriver #richmondriver #tweedriver #sunshinesugar

21.01.2022 WORLD HEART DAY is a global campaign during which people around the world can participate in activities to take charge of their heart health and that of others. Addressing positive impacts on heart health is one of the reasons we launched our Low GI Sugar. Low GI sugar is more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised resulting in a lower and slower rise in blood sugar. All natural and 100% Australian grown, made and owned . #worldheartday #lowgi #sunshinesugar

20.01.2022 WORLD DIABETES DAY aims to increase awareness of the effects of diabetes. Almost 1-in-10 people in the world today are living with diabetes, many of whom remain undiagnosed. Low GI foods are typically recommended for diabetics. Our Low GI sugar is 100% NATURAL cane sugar that is more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised resulting in a lower and slower rise in blood glucose. #worlddiabetesday #diabetes #LowGI #sunshinesugar

20.01.2022 Sweet Support for Those in Need. Some 5 million Australians have experienced food insecurity in the last 12 months and the number of people seeking food relief from charities is increasing. It is the human reality behind these figures that drives the network of local, state and national Foodbank staff, volunteers and partners to do the amazing work they do in providing food for 815,000 Australians via a network of 2,400 charities in every Australian state and territory ...each month. Sunshine Sugar is one food manufacturer actively supporting Foodbank in this massive and highly co-ordinated effort. As the only 100% Australian grown, made and owned sugar producer, we take the food security of our fellow Australians very seriously; said Sunshine Sugar’s CEO Mr Chris Connors. The NSW sugar industry has been a donor to Simplot’s annual campaign to make 242,00 jars of Leggo’s pasta sauce for Foodbank for a number of years . The extent of support from the NSW sugar maker has now grown to include supply of Low GI sugar in retail packs for donation to individuals and households in need of essential food items across the nation. Low GI sugar is a wholesome cane sugar that retains the naturally occurring and beneficial antioxidants. Being Low in GI or Glycaemic Index, means that it is more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised resulting in a lower and slower rise in blood glucose levels . National Agriculture Program Manager for Foodbank, Ms Jacqui Payne advised; Sunshine Sugar is sending supplies of their Low GI sugar to our network of distribution centres. It will then make its way into our supply chain, with the help of our state-based teams and an army of wonderful volunteers who pick, pack and get the food to where it’s needed. Foodbank estimates that 50% more food is needed to provide enough for all the people seeking assistance.

10.01.2022 It’s MAKE A HAT DAY and did you know that hardhats have been manufactured from sugarcane? The helmets are produced from a biopolymer made from sugarcane-based ethanol. Polyethylene is a renewable resource because sugarcane growth exceeds the rate of harvest . The hat meets the same standards as the conventional product and because it's sourced from plant matter, the hat is recyclable when it’s served its time. #verstilesugarcane #sunshinesugar
