What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

British Sugar began its 2026-27 processing campaign across several English counties. Operations started at Wissington in Norfolk on September 29, followed by Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk and Newark in Nottinghamshire on October 6. The company noted that while the growing season was challenging due to drought, sugar contents were better than expected. However, the Cantley factory in Norfolk faces potential closure by the end of February.
