Astarta completed the 2024 sugar production season, which lasted 133 days and was marked by several records.
Astarta’s five sugar plants produced 380kt of sugar, the highest output by the business in the last seven years. The Company’s mills processed over 2.5mt of sugar beet grown in-house and from third-party farmers.
Despite the difficulties with quality of raw materials due to abnormal weather conditions, Astarta achieved a sugar yield 14.96% (compared to Ukraine’s average 14.06% as of 01.01.2025). According to Ukrsugar, the National Association of Sugar Producers of Ukraine, this is the best industry benchmark in the 2024 production season.
The important event of the season: Astarta put into operation a new 60kt sugar storage silo. It will significantly enhance storage conditions and optimize logistics for the final product.
