It is sturdy and needs very little water to grow. The Belgian climate is perfect for beet farming, with a combination of dry and wet periods throughout its growth. Planted in spring and harvested in autumn, beet participates in the crop cycle of fields, where crop rotation helps maintain the richness of soils. A field is thus used to grow beet for a year, and then potatoes, followed by corn, etc. It is in everyone&#8217;s interest to maintain healthy fields to produce healthy plants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bg-blue text-white no-overflow is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns align-items-center section-padding is-layout-flex wp-container-6\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column ml-5 is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharing the risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of a ton of beet is directly linked to the retail price of sugar. Beet farmers have a stake in Iscal Sugar and have several seats on the board of directors of our company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, and according to a correlation table, a high average retail price of our sugar over a one-year period means that we buy our beet at an increased price. Inversely, if sugar is sold at a lower price over the year, the price of beet is also reviewed and reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system, which is widespread in the beet industry, means that all parties involved are treated fairly, and no stakeholder is left holding the short straw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/mutualisation-des-risques-2400x1600.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/mutualisation-des-risques-2400x1600.webp 2400w, https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/mutualisation-des-risques-1500x1000.webp 1500w, https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/mutualisation-des-risques-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/mutualisation-des-risques-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/mutualisation-des-risques-2048x1366.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"section-related section-margin section-related align\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n                    <h1 class=\"h3 text-center mb-5\">Discover more about us<\/h1>\n        \n        <div class=\"row\">\n                                                <article class=\"col-md-4\">\n                        <div class=\"card card__related\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/en\/a-propos\/iscal-sugar-group\/\">\n                                <div class=\"card-header\">\n                                    <img width=\"778\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/miniature-le-groupe-iscal-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/miniature-le-groupe-iscal-1.webp 778w, https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/miniature-le-groupe-iscal-1-768x650.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/>\n                                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"card-body\">\n                                    The iscal group\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                    <article class=\"col-md-4\">\n                        <div class=\"card card__related\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/en\/a-propos\/histoire-du-sucre\/\">\n                                <div class=\"card-header\">\n                                    <img width=\"389\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1B-histoire.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" \/>\n                                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"card-body\">\n                                    A history of sugar\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                    <article class=\"col-md-4\">\n                        <div class=\"card card__related\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/en\/a-propos\/le-sucre-aujourdhui\/\">\n                                <div class=\"card-header\">\n                                    <img width=\"389\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/iscal.be\/app\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1D-sucre-ajd.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" \/>\n                                <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"card-body\">\n                                    Sugar today\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/article>\n                                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About beet Beet is a fascinating plant.
