Kayseri Şeker sugar beet production and technology

Overview

Kayseri Şeker has undertaken technological and operational developments for the sugar beet production season. The company’s R&D unit, supported by TÜBİTAK, developed a domestic six-row sugar beet harvester designed to reduce time and fuel consumption. This machine aims to provide a domestic alternative to expensive imported models, costing approximately one-fourth of the price of foreign versions.

Following these developments, the company launched its 72nd sugar beet purchasing campaign for the 2026-2027 season. The campaign launch has coincided with political calls for pricing transparency. Serdal Şimşek of the Anahtar Parti has urged the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to set purchasing prices that account for rising input costs for farmers—including fuel, fertilizer, and labor—as well as the increasing operational expenses of cooperative-run factories.
