According to the latest Soyuzrossahar data, since the beginning of the 2019/20 season and as of January 20, 2020, 7.3 million tons of sugar from beets were produced. Given the ongoing operation of the factories, we should expect a total production of sugar from beets of more than 7.4 million tons (our estimate is 7.43 million tons). To this we must add the expected 130 thousand tons of sugar from molasses at the desugarization stations of Rusagro and Prodimex, and about 50 thousand tons to be produced from syrup sugar at the Sucden factories. Thus, the total sugar production in the current season is likely to exceed 7.6 million tons, which is a record figure for the entire history of sugar production in the Russian Federation, and it will exceed by 1 million tons the production volume in the record season of 2017/18.
