Consistent measures in an extremely challenging market environment An exceptionally challenging market environment characterised our 2025/2026 financial year. Two consecutive high-yield beet harvests, a structural decline in consumption and a global production surplus put significant pressure on prices. At the same time, we took early and consistent countermeasures: with enhanced excellence initiatives, an additional immediate contingency programme and clear structural decisions – with the aim of stabilising and strengthening our competitiveness in the long term. With our corporate strategy Fields for Growth, we are pursuing a clear course until 2033. The strategy focuses on cost efficiency, sustainability and diversification: we are securing and strengthening our core business in Europe whilst reducing our dependence on the EU markets by further developing our cane sugar business to a strong second pilar of the company. Further we are expanding our business into Smart Ingredients like alternative proteins and functional ingredients.
