A word from Keith Packer, our Managing Director

For over 110 years, British Sugar has been at the heart of our homegrown sugar beet industry in the UK. Our industry plays such a vital role in the rural economy and sugar beet is an important part of a bigger agricultural ecosystem. The success of our industry hinges on the seamless cooperation between grower, processor and customers.

As a business, we are defined by our commitment to innovation, having created a vibrant and globally competitive British success story, right here in the East of England, East Midlands and Yorkshire.

We are at a pivotal point for our industry – we want to unlock the incredible potential that the UK sugar beet industry has, harnessing cutting-edge biotechnology, decarbonising and seizing the opportunities for free and fair trade.

From agriculture innovation to energy efficiency; there is a bright future of opportunity ahead for the British sugar beet industry. Capturing these new opportunities will allow our industry to become even more efficient, even more innovative, and even more competitive – unleashing our potential and crystallising our future for the next 100 years.

in the field

Sugar beet has been grown in fields across the East of England for over 100 years – it’s a staple crop in a farmer’s arable rotation.

We look to drive continuous improvements across growing practices and invest in new research and trials to combat diseases, pests and the impact of climate change.
