Welcome to your weekly overview of QSL news and information.

2020-Season Pricing Nomination
Deadline: 30 April 2020
With the 2020-Season Pricing Nomination Deadline now just days away - on Thursday 30 April, make sure you've made your decisions for the 2020-Season on your QSL Direct account, or speak to your local Grower Services Team representative early in the coming week. And remember, you also need to make decisions now if you are considering the 2021 QSL Two-Season Pool and/or the 2022 QSL Three-Season Pool.
These options are for your 2021 & 2022 Season GEI Sugar tonnes, but your nomination needs to be made before 30 April 2020 as well.

Unfilled 2020-Season Target Price Contract Orders
Growers with unfilled 2020-Season Target Price Contract orders are reminded that they only have until 30 April 2020* to cancel these. After this date, they can edit the orders but cannot cancel them.

Orders that are not filled by the Pricing Completion Date next year DO NOT DEFAULT TO THE HARVEST POOL. Instead, they are filled by QSL at the next market opportunity.

For more details, please read the full Pricing Pool Terms (available by clicking here) or contact your local QSL representative.

*NOTE: Growers supplying Isis Central Sugar Mill should contact their mill for details of applicable local pricing deadlines.

Want to price more?
Did you know that QSL Growers wanting to maximise their pricing flexibility and manage their own production risk can price up to 97% of their GEI Sugar each season – that’s all of their tonnage except their share of the highly lucrative US Quota – by using QSL’s grower-managed pricing options?

Growers using our Individual Futures Contract product in conjunction with our Self-Managed Harvest option can:

  • Manage all of their own production risk
  • Price directly against each season’s four ICE 11 futures positions; and
  • Price up to 50% of their GEI Sugar after the harvest.
For further details, please contact your local QSL Grower Services Team representative. 

QSL Deferred Payment Scheme
The QSL Deferred Payment Scheme allows eligible growers to defer their early-season Advances payments due before June 30 to their first scheduled payment in July of the new financial year.

  • Eligible Participants: OSA participants with a Grower Pricing Agreement with QSL who receive Advance payments directly from QSL
  • Exclusions: Growers who have received the QSL Pre-Crush Advance Payment are not eligible to apply for the QSL Deferred Payment Scheme in the same season
  • When and how can I apply? Eligible growers can request to participate in the scheme by selecting this option under the 'Preferences' tab of their QSL Direct account no later than 29 May 2020.
