INDEX CEFS STATISTICS 2010 The data of the last available campaign are estimates, and may be corrected the following year. Tables 3, 4, 6 and 9 (respectively concerning beet yields, sugar yields, sugar richness in beet and the length of the campaign) show weighted EU averages (weighted by the beet/sugar production of each country on that given year) from 2007/2008 on. The EU averages shown for campaigns before 2007/2008 remain arithmetical averages. ECONOMIC DATA A. BEET STATISTICS 1. Harvested beet areas for sugar production 2. Paid beet production 3. Average beet yield 4. Average white sugar yield B. SUGAR STATISTICS 5. Sugar production expressed in white sugar 6. Average sugar content in beet when delivered 7. Beet tonnages transformed daily 8. Import Export Statistics with Third Countries 9. Average length of the beet sugar campaign C. CO-PRODUCTS 10. Production of beet sugar molasses in sugar factories 11. Production of beet pulp STRUCTURAL DATA 12. Number of beet sugar and raw cane refinery companies by production year 13. Number of sugar beet factories operating in each production year 14. Number of sugar beet factories and daily capacity by production year 15. Number of beet growers 16. Sugar processing industry employment during the beet processing campaign 17. Sugar processing industry employment between beet processing campaign
