    I've tried searching on the web but all I got is a few businesses selling 100Kg+ or some others from US where the delivery cost kills the deal.
    Any merchant here in Australia willing to sell smaller quantities?

    Have you considered going to the markets?

    Trying to import vegetable matter may pose quarantine issues or biohazard risks.

    Presumably, there's no need to import it as it is produced in Australia.

    canedirect.com.au markets it once a year from Melbourne, though I don't know the quantities.

    Otherwise, perhaps try to contact a can producer in Queensland directly?

    In Colombia, they had sugar cane presses and made a drink - half sugar cane juice and half lime juice. Lovely!

    Since you are in Melbourne, I wonder if you can get this from one of the Asian grocers in Victoria St, Richmond?

    Or even: https://www.canedirect.com.au/

    Thanks everyone for trying to help.
    I should wait Jun/July when the season starts but it's true that there are quarantine rules to look at even between Australia's regions.
