SUGAR BEET GROWING AT AGRANA rowing sugar beet enjoys a long tradition in Europe Gand in recent years has developed to become a highly specialised industrial segment. In 2016, around 6,900 beet growers and contract partners in Central and Eastern Europe planted around 93,000 hectares of land with sugar beet for AGRANA. AGRANA maintains contractual partnerships with the growers in order to regu- late the growing and purchase of the agreed quantities of sugar beet. Good cooperation and long-term partnerships between AGRANA and the beet growers are an essential element of achieving optimal yields. The VALUE-ADDED CHAIN starts with the procure- ment of the agricultural commodities. Details of the value-added chain in the Sugar segment can be found on the following pages.
