The company said the cool spring resulted in late sugar beet sowing in 2006, and the subsequent exceptionally hot and dry summer meant less favourable growth conditions.


The beet and sugar production has been adjusted to the terms of the new EU sugar regime – under which sugar production in the EU will be reduced and C sugar production will cease – and to the EU’s extraordinary quota reduction of approximately 14%.


So far, Danisco’s sugar production has significantly exceeded the quota (C sugar), but this year that would not be the case because of the weather conditions which have affected the harvest, the company said.


Danisco produces sugar beet in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Finland and Lithuania.
