The World Association of Beet and Cane Growers (WABCG), of which NFU Sugar is a member, have published their latest study demonstrating the importance of transparency in beet and cane reception across the world, showing where all countries could make improvements.
As growers deliver raw materials of unknown quality and quantity, trust and transparency is vital in the process the world over. To demonstrate the importance of this, WABCG use the example of how a 1% error in sugar measurement in the UK could mean a $1.5m gain for the processor.
Grower associations in different countries all have some degree of oversight of beet or cane reception, but all can learn from what is done elsewhere.
