Cosun beet price for 2021 finally tastes a little sweeter

most sugar is sold in advance, had hoped for more, but assume this is the start of an upward trend.
So contrary to the previous comments I don't grumble too much, they can show how they can do better, and then not from the sidelines.

Beet grower: "I don't like it, velvet is good, just think". Sure, it is. Maybe they still want a smart beet grower on the board. We can of course also offer our beets in Belgium or Germany. They probably do a lot better there.

Really super bad considering the sugar price development. They give us the rest after everyone has implemented their extra costs, including the wages of OUR cosun employees. Fire everything and have it reapplied in front of a farmers committee!!!

Beet price is €32,50 not €40,-the €7,50 member surcharge has absolutely nothing to do with the beets are side activities that fortunately add some extras on top of the beet price so €32,50/at 17% sugar we do not gain weight on average beet price falls below € 30, road / ton

The beet price presented by Cosun leaves room for improvement, only two quarters higher than last year.
When I read that the management aims for a price that is € 5,-/ton higher in 2025, this gives little confidence. That is three years later, only inflation is then 20% minimal.
The apologies that there are one-off negative benefits and the market was a lot lower at the time of the sale of sugar is all quite understandable, but if there are no errors and a higher sugar price, the members expect just €2023/ton in 45, Mr. Director.
And in 2025 at least € 50,-/ton I say at least yes, because if you want to keep the cultivation for our cooperative, this will really have to be the shot.
Perhaps the strong grain prices can boost motivation somewhat.

When I read this thread I have the idea that all arable farmers are super sellers. The sales advice given here is of a very high standard. Dear cosun, as you can read you shouldn't sell at the lowest point.... And don't sell in advance.... and that you have to factor inflation into the price... I'm curious how the arable farmers / advisors in this thread have sold their yellow seed onions this year . I assume all between 25 and 30 cents/kg. That is last year's top price adjusted for inflation. I also think that all beet growers who often also grow grass seed have freely grown their grass seed for harvest 21. Of course, with their visionary view, they did not sign a contract in September 20, if they have already done so, of course with an inflation adjustment of 6% what that means. saw you coming for a long time. Just like the potatoes. They too were all grown 21% free for harvest 100.... Sure. Nor has anyone here sold part of his wheat crop 21 in advance for 200 euros last winter. I just want to say be careful about blaming others, first analyze your own actions before accusing someone else of incorrect market assessments. And of course I also hope for more than 50 euros per tonne and no, I am not on the board. But I find it very easy to call from the sidelines.

When it comes to the forecast for the coming years . I would like to see your prediction that you can be counted on on this forum. So I would like to hear your expected wheat price, onion price, potato price and grass seed price in 2025. Of course, your sales price is then with a full calculation of all increased costs. So the minimum price for: wheat 0,35 cents. grass seed 1 Euro, and potatoes 0,35 cents and the onions also 35 cents? That is the same way of calculating that many here think that cosun should sell the sugar, so you have to set the bar for yourself at that level too. Then we will check in 2026 whether you have also achieved this. I also know how it should be done, but the reality is often more unruly.
