Sugar beet; source of innovation
Together with around 9,000 beet growers and 850 employees, we work on producing plant-based solutions for a sustainable future. This includes food products, animal feed, protein from beet foliage, biobased products, and green energy: Bright Beet Solutions. We work with passion to get the best out of the beets and to contribute together to a circular economy. There is no waste; we make optimal use of all parts of sugar beets.
