Austrian sugar beets sown area to reduce 20%

22.05.2019 19:04 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) — As to the Austrian Sugar Beet Producers Association Rübenbauernbund experts, within 2019/2020 MY, within Lower Austria and Vienna, the sugar beets’ sown area will be reduced by 20%, Ukrainian National Association of Sugar Producers reports As to the experts, the sown areas will reduce due to global market sugar prices decline, the ban on the most important insecticides for the sugar beets (neonicotinoids) and the lack of sufficient soil moisture. It is expected that the prohibition on neonicotinoids will cost farmers an additional EUR400 per ha, while sugar beets’ price is only about EUR20–25 per ha. As to the report, the experts say the sugar beets are quite probable to disappear from a larger area of crop rotation. However, experts asdmit that at the same time other crops become more attractive for the agricultural producers. So, the experts expect the soybeans are to become the main competitor of the sugar beets. As of now, within Austria, the crop area of soybeans is about 65,000 ha, having the third place after Italy and France (two leading European producers). It is to be admitted, the soybeans are much popular due to the high demand for GMO-free soybeans’ meal.
