Germany produced 4.772 million tonnes of refined sugar from beets in the 2011/12 season now ending, up from 3.442 million tonnes in the previous season, the association of German sugar industry WVZ said on Wednesday. The figure was only marginally up from the 4.747 million tonnes given in the association's final sugar test on February 1.
All of Germany's sugar beet crop has now been processed, the association said. Germany's sugar beet harvest has progressed very well in favourable weather and a sharp rise in sugar output is being achieved because of expanded planted area and high sugar content of beets, the head of WVZ told Reuters on December 7.
