Harvesting of sugar beets, planted in an area of 10,651 hectares in the Kulu district of Konya, has begun.
Cengiz Öztürk, the Chairman of the Kulu District Agricultural Chamber Board, stated, "We are expecting around 77,000 tons of sugar beets from these fields. The sugar beets that we have just started harvesting look very promising. We hope to achieve our target. In our region, about 96% of sugar beets are harvested using machines. Currently, harvesting is taking place in the Kozanlı neighborhood, where we have around 10-15% of sugar beets left to be harvested. In our region, 85% of sugar beets are harvested using a minimum of 6-row machines. Our goal for the Kulu region is 77,000 tons of sugar beets, and we expect to reach it. The current sugar beet yields appear to be good. As of today, the harvest has begun. We aim to finish harvesting our sugar beets as soon as possible before the end of the season. I wish the farmers a profitable and abundant harvest."
