Sunshine Sugar – Sponsor of the 1.10 m Open Class
A huge thank you to Sunshine Sugar for their ongoing commitment to our events and for sponsoring not only the 1.10 m Open Class, but also showcasing the incredible network of businesses that make up their organisation.
Sunshine Sugar is proudly Australian‑owned through a partnership between the grower‑owned NSW Sugar Milling Co‑operative and the Australian family‑owned Manildra Group. The Co‑operative represents around 500 cane farming families across the Northern Rivers, while the Manildra Group is a long‑standing NSW agribusiness owned and operated by the Honan family.
Sunshine Sugar owns and operates mills at Harwood, Broadwater and Condong, along with a refinery co‑located at Harwood. Their Broadwater Mill even powers the town of Broadwater, reflecting their commitment to local communities and sustainable energy.
Sustainability sits at the heart of the NSW sugar industry — balancing environmental responsibility, economic viability and long‑term resilience. Sunshine Sugar supports farming practices that protect soil health, water quality and biodiversity, while ensuring productive, profitable agriculture for future generations. They encourage growers to uphold this reputation by participating in the Bonsucro Sustainability Certification process.
We are grateful for Sunshine Sugar’s continued support of our riders and our Valley & Rivers Spring Showjumping community.
