摘要

Sugar beet quotas must not end in 2015 for the British sugar beet industry to have the opportunity to take advantage of a potentially larger EU-produced sugar market, growers heard at the British Beet Research Organisation annual conference. The lastround of reforms had left the EU internal market short of sugar after the expected levels of imports had not materialised to compensate for the fall in exports driven by the reforms, said Martin Todd, managing director of LMC International.
