KALAMIA MEMBERS – CRUSHING UPDATE – STARTING TIMES
On Thursday 8 June, we reviewed feedback from harvesting groups and determined that:
· Crushing will commence at Kalamia on Wednesday 14 June
· Crushing will commence at Pioneer on Friday June 16.
· Cane supply availability at Invicta and Inkerman will be reviewed through next week to confirm start dates. Crushing will not commence at these mills before June 19.
From a cane supply point of view this means that:
· Harvesting will commence at Kalamia and Invicta on Wednesday 14 June. Invicta suppliers will need to burn conservatively and in consultation with Wilmar staff as their access to Kalamia milling capacity will reduce as more Kalamia groups come online.
· Harvesting will commence at Pioneer on Thursday 15 June. Burning of cane should not commence at Pioneer until ground conditions have been confirmed by harvesters operating at Kalamia and Invicta on Wednesday.
We will review the supply situation again Tuesday 13 June and will provide another update by Wednesday morning.
