Nothing sweet about this Queensland sugar deal

Multi-million-dollar expansion plans for one Queensland sugar miller have come under fire from environmentalists.

MSF Sugar's plans to progress its growth into the bio-futures space at its Fraser Coast operations have caused some to raise concerns about extra sediment and nutrient runoff.

The announcement to progress MSF's expansion was announced last week, with two parcels of land identified as possible sites for cane crops.

If leased to the company, the extra cane land could see MSF's Maryborough Mill achieve one million tonnes of throughput per year.
