In the 2016 campaign, the German sugar company Nordzucker processed about 2,5 million tons more beets than the year before. In total, the company processes around 15 million tons of sugar beet.
With the end of the beet campaign in sight, Nordzucker's 13 plants have run an average of 104 days, making the campaign longer than last year.
Due to an above-average harvest, not all factories are closed yet. The factory in Slovakia will remain in production until January 22 due to a record harvest.
