It was reported by Yuriy Tymokha, the deputy of Poltava Regional Council, on his Facebook page.

During this time, the plant processed almost 130 thousand tonnes of beet, 20,1 thousand tonnes of sugar were produced. Indicators are low, as this year lack of sufficient rainfalls has negatively affected the beet yield. For comparison, last year 200 thousand tonnes of sugar beet were harvested and 28 thousand tonnes of sugar were produced.

In winter, the refinery will be closed. All tanks and pipelines have already been cleared and released from the remains of beet and liquids. Most workers will have a rest for the next three months. And in March they will return to work again. In spring the refinery will begin preparations for the nextsugar refining season.
