More than 93% of Cosun growers accept the offer to grow extra sugar beet next year. This is apparent from the final balance drawn up this week by Suiker Unie, after the issuance of 8% extra Member Delivery Certificates (LLBs).
Of the 93% that responded, 56% of the growers opt for 8% extra LLBs. The remaining 41% are interested in more than 8% additional LLBs. 3% indicated that they were not interested in additional LLBs. Suiker Unie says it is satisfied with this result.
Additional allocation
The growers who have indicated that they are interested in more than 8% extra LLBs will receive this from the LLBs that have not been placed, with those who are not interested and have not responded. This concerns an additional allocation of 1,3% LLBs. This means that said 41% of the growers receive 9,3% extra LLBs.
Assignment 2018
The '2018 Quota Beet Allocation' will be based on the new number of LLBs per grower, multiplied by the previously established allocation percentage of 107%. The allocation and early order of the 2018 beet seed will be provided to the growers in the course of August.

Aren't sugar factories like Royal Cosun's agricultural coal-fired power stations? And don't sugar factories want a lot of supply, just like coal-fired power stations? Don't sugar beets also cover the better soils? #people4soilThis is a response to this article:
Sugar beet growers, better choose real, good food crops instead of overproduction sugar.
