Campaign 2021/22: Factories off to a good start

Currently, many Nordzucker factories have processed about a quarter of their planned beet volume. 

Yield estimation have been revised upwards in many countries. Due to the rainfall in August and September, the sugar beet gained weight. However, the precipitation led to a thinning of the sugar content. If processing can take place as planned in all factories, the campaign will end at the end 
of January 2022. In Finland, we expect the campaign to end as early as the end of November this year.

The yield estimation for our three sugar mills in Australia has also been revised upwards. Unfortunately, we are currently having problems with processing, especially at the largest mill, Marian. Overall, the end of the campaign at MSL will be delayed until the rainy season, which starts in December. This could mean that not all the cane can be harvested. However, we will continue to try to prevent this through timely repairs.
