The beet intake opens on the following dates: Bury St Edmunds - 16 September; Wissington - 16 September; Newark - 23 September; Cantley - 7 October.
Sugar beet growers, hauliers and industry partners have been advised of beet intake times at the factories by email and via the online portal, My British Sugar.
Dan Green, the processor's agriculture director said: “As we look ahead to this year’s campaign, we look forward to working together with growers, harvesters and hauliers.

The processor's four factories can produce up to 1.2 million tonnes of sugar annually.
