“Rusagro” has completed harvesting crops. The gross harvest of sugar beet amounted to 2,859 thousand tons in 2020, which is 1,073 thousand tons (-27%) less than in 2019. The key reason for these results was the drop in yield by 24% due to unfavourable weather conditions – mainly moisture deficit and winds blowing out of some of the crops.
