Sugar producers lack railway wagons

According to sugar companies and individual sugar factories, manufacturers lack gondola and covered cars used for the transportation of limestone and sugar.

Such a situation could be negatively reflected in the beginning of the production season, because sugar factories are enterprises with a continuous production cycle.

Today, more than half of the sugar factories complain of logistical difficulties. The most threatening situation has occurred at the stations: Radekhiv, Khorostkiv, Kozova, Zbarazh, Shmanʹkivchyky, Hnidava, Maksymivka of the Lʹviv railway; Вапнярка of the Odessa railway; Huty and Lanna of the Pivdenna Railway, Tetiyiv, Yahotyn, Skvyra of the Pivdenno-Zakhidna Railway and others.

The farms of Ukraine carry out regular phytosanitary supervision of sugar beet crops.

2-16% of plants showed powdery mildew, alternaria, ramulyariosis, fomos, somewhere crops populate and damage beet leafy aphids, mowing the fly, bugs.
