Sugar beet

The country’s only sugar beet processor, Empresas Iansa, has announced that it will not enter into contracts with producers for the 2026/27 season. This effectively means the end of domestic sugar beet production in Chile. This is reported by Reuters.

The company explained that the cultivation of the crop has become economically unprofitable due to the fall in world sugar prices and the constant increase in production costs.
