Cosun calamity scheme open due to frost

23 December 2021 - Jurphaas Lugtenburg - 22 comments

The frost of recent days has locally caused damage to the beets that are still in the country. There are also parties in the hope that have not been covered or have not been covered in time, Cosun reports. Cosun has therefore opened a calamity scheme from 23 December to 31 December.

Beets with frost damage - under normal conditions - are not accepted. But because of the collective interest, Cosun offers growers the opportunity to supply the beets anyway. Growers who still have to deliver and want to make use of the scheme can register via the member portal. The beets are then loaded with priority, but there is an additional contribution of €6,50 per tonne.

The beet growers who do not make use of the scheme, but whose delivery is pushed back as a result, will receive an additional compensation of €0,25 per tonne net.

Why the growers don't harvest earlier is a mystery to me!!!!

seems like you have a lot of choice but you are forced to hand in 6,50 or the beets are not loaded.

You always take that risk yourself and you should be happy that there is a calamity arrangement. Otherwise frost code anyway and possible refusal.

You simply need to have harvested beets before mid-November.

If you don't like that frozen junk, you as an entrepreneur should take good care of your store.

don't wait so long with harvesting, most are too bad to cover the heap

I think it's outrageous that the heaps that have been neatly on the pavement since early November are now even longer because the frozen beets have to be cleared first.

Idd some growers are often the same, make a mess of it!!

Also the COSUN is not completely free in this, the campaign is just too long in some years.
This year is not so bad, but storing beets until February is simply too long with these makeshift outdoor storages.

Something can also be done about this, with a fan and agricultural plastic you can keep beets good for a long time at low costs

I also think it's nice that the arrangement is there. but the growers who do not make use of the scheme also benefit from it. the more beets produced by the factory, the lower the fixed costs per tonne of beets and thus the higher the beet price.

I've completely turned my back on cosun, scum off the ledge, that's it

do not believe that there is something wrong with those beets that are still in the ground, otherwise just head centimeters deeper and solved, right? I can deliver it without frost damage

Don't know where you have beets, but take a knife to the country today so you can judge, harvest or plow for yourself.
A large leaf device can make a lot of difference!

The growers who have harvested on time and covered neatly get a little something extra and because of the changing loading routes they probably stay longer.
Nice, isn't it, working cooperatively, there's not much you can do about it and it goes the way it goes.
south-east 26 December 2021
west and east Brabant nothing to worry about max minus 1,5 that is negligible.
plow?? not quite so dramatic
after 1 time frost it is not yet deep in the beet matter of a slice of extra heads. and ps if you deliver later than planned you get 0,50 extra and your storage fee increases so don't know why everyone is whining so much!
is that modern nowadays?
don't make the problem bigger than it is people.

Did SU in Vierverlaten also cover all beets? Until 9 degrees frost there, then no frost codes?

the beets there are processed on Sundays, so they are gone. In addition, I have always understood that frozen beets are not the problem, it is precisely when they thaw that it becomes annoying. They don't get the time to defrost

Now stop seeing the industry as an enemy, only the final beet price is important to me.
