Drought and Rhizopus root rot have sharply reduced sugar beet yields in France’s Yonne department. The regional agricultural service reports an average yield of 23 tonnes per hectare, about 31% of normal, and 15% of the area was left unharvested because of quality or economic problems.
A severe regional beet crop loss reduces local sugar beet availability and may tighten sugar supply, lending support to sugar prices. The reported disease and drought impacts are concentrated in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
