Sugar Beet Planting Season Begins in Konya

The sugar beet planting season has begun in Konya, one of Turkey’s key agricultural regions. Sugar beet is one of the most important crops in the region, contributing significantly to both the local and national economy through sugar production and related industries.

Farmers have started preparing their fields and sowing seeds, marking the beginning of a process that will continue over the coming weeks. 

Local agricultural authorities are closely monitoring the planting activities and offering technical support to ensure efficiency and productivity. With favorable weather conditions and strong demand from sugar factories, this year’s harvest is expected to be promising. Farmers are hopeful that rising input costs will be offset by stable market prices and government support programs.

Konya continues to be a leader in sugar beet cultivation, with thousands of hectares dedicated to the crop each year.
