UKRAINE
According to the forecast by “UkrAgroConsult”, the total acreage of sugar beet in Ukraine is expected to slightly increase. This will happen due to the global shortage of sugar and low carryover stocks of sugar in Ukraine. According to the latest official data, the acreage of sugar beet in the Ukraine is still at the level of previous year.
