We are glad to announce the start of a new concept of ‘the international sugar beet harvesting demonstrations’. To improve the organisation and coordination, a number of manufacturers as well as the European sugar beet sector felt the need to initiate a new concept, called ‘Beet Europe’. Beet Europe will be held every two years, rotating across different countries in Europe. The first Beet Europe 2010 will take place in Lelystad (the Netherlands), followed by Beet Europe 2012 in Seligenstadt (Germany).

Beet Europe is ‘the event to be’ for everybody in the sugar beet sector to see the newest technology, trends, ideas, innovations and for networking. The heart of Beet Europe 2010 is an international harvesting demonstration with test.

Beet Europe 2010 will take place on Thursday 14 October, from 8:30 hours till 17:00 hours.
Location: Wageningen-UR (PPO-agv), Edelhertweg 1, Lelystad (Flevoland), the Netherlands.

The special website www.beeteurope2010.com is now online.

The website is the source of information for potential partners, sponsors, and other interested visitors. Besides background information about the new Europe Beet-concept and the program, participating companies are also listed. The latest news about this event can be found on this website. If you register online (see ‘keep me informed’) you will receive e-mails with the latest changes and additions to the Beet Europe 2010 website.

The organization of Beet Europe 2010 is being conducted by employees of IRS, Wageningen UR (PPO-agv), and Suiker Unie.
