===Later sugar operations=== CSR constructed further large refineries and mills in Australasia including the [[Chelsea Sugar Refinery]] built near [[Auckland]] in 1884, a large refining complex at [[Glanville, South Australia|Glanville]], [[Adelaide]] in 1891 to process sugar from [[Mauritius]], and the massive sugar mill at [[Lautoka]] in 1903.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sahistoryhub.history.sa.gov.au:443/places/colonial-sugar-refinery-glanville?hh=1&|title=Colonial Sugar Refinery, Glanville|last=Hunter|first=James|website=SA History Hub|publisher=[[History Trust of South Australia]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190816030321/http://sahistoryhub.com.au/places/colonial-sugar-refinery-glanville|archive-date=16 August 2019|url-status=live|access-date=16 August 2019}}</ref><ref name="CSR" /> In 1923, the Queensland state government signed an agreement with CSR to refine all of that state's sugar production, a monopoly that was to continue until 1989, 16 years after CSR had left Fiji. At that time, about 80% of production was exported. CSR separated its sugar and energy businesses from its building products business in 2009, which resulted in the creation of [[Sucrogen]] as CSR's sugar and energy business. It then operated seven sugar mills in Queensland: Victoria Mill and Macknade Mill in the [[Herbert River]] region, centred around the town of [[Ingham, Queensland|Ingham]]; Invicta Mill, [[Inkerman Sugar Mill|Inkerman Mill]], Kalamia Mill and Pioneer Mill in the [[Burdekin]] Region; and [[Plane Creek Sugar Mill|Plane Creek Mill]] at [[Sarina, Queensland|Sarina]], south of [[Mackay, Queensland|Mackay]]. CSR also owned a 75% share in the Sugar Australia refineries in [[Melbourne]] and [[Mackay, Queensland|Mackay]] (the other 25% being Mackay Sugar Co-Operative's) and in the [[Chelsea Sugar Refinery]] in [[Auckland]]. Using the molasses by-product from the sugar mills, the company also distilled [[ethanol]] for use in fuel ethanol manufacture, and varying grades of domestic industrial ethanols for food production and other chemical processes. The CSR brand was used on most of the retail sugar products produced. The production made up around 60% of the sugar on the Australian domestic market, and 80% of that in [[New Zealand]]. Sucrogen was sold to Singapore company [[Wilmar International]] in 2010.<ref name="Sucrogen History">[http://www.sucrogen.com/about/history ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120323005320/http://www.sucrogen.com/about/history |date=23 March 2012 }}</ref>
