06 Jan 2017 --- Nordzucker has processed an extra 2.5m tons of sugar beet in 2016 ahead of a year which will see the removal of sugar quotas and minimum beet prices across the EU. The German company, which operates across Northern Europe, processed 15m tons of beet across its 13 plants overall in 2016, compared to 12.5m tons the year previous. European Union sugar production quotas will be removed in the autumn of 2017, allowing beet sugar production to rise further for the likes of Nordzucker and its rivals.
