Thompsons look to the future for success

After generations on the farm, the Thompson family is harnessing modern pricing opportunities and tools to better manage their returns in a volatile market.

Russell and Andrea Thompson, together with their son Chris, run a 20,000-tonne cane farm in the Carmila region.

Read the Thompson's story in full in our latest instalment of 'Your Story' by clicking here.

It has been a volatile month for the October 2021 ICE 11 raw sugar contract in the lead up to its expiry, with prices moving in a broader 18.50 USc/lb to 20.50 USc/lb range. QSL filled its first 2024 Season Target Price Contract orders at prices as high as $440/tonne gross actual, with the highest gross actual fills to date for the 2021 Season at $616 (Target Price) and $625 (Mar22 – Individual Futures Contract).
