About beet sugar
cpc code 23512 covers the production of beet sugar, a vital commodity in the global food and beverage industry. Beet sugar is a major agricultural product, with beet cultivation and processing playing a significant role in the economies of many countries. As a versatile sweetener, beet sugar finds applications across a wide range of food and industrial sectors, making it an essential component of the broader agricultural and manufacturing landscape.
Production process
The production of beet sugar involves several key steps. First, sugar beets are harvested and transported to processing facilities. The beets are then washed, sliced, and subjected to a diffusion process to extract the sugar-rich juice. The juice is then purified, concentrated, and crystallized to produce raw sugar. Finally, the raw sugar undergoes further refining to remove impurities and yield the pure, white beet sugar that is ready for distribution and consumption.
Production inputs
The beet sugar industry relies on several key inputs, including arable land for beet cultivation, water for irrigation and processing, and specialized machinery for harvesting, transportation, and processing. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce to manage the various stages of production, from planting and harvesting to refining and packaging. 22111 Wheat, 22112 (Maize (corn)), and other agricultural commodities may also serve as complementary inputs or substitutes in certain applications.
Production outputs
The primary output of the beet sugar industry is refined beet sugar, which is widely used in the food and beverage sectors as a sweetener. Beet sugar may also be further processed into other sugar-based products, such as 23513 Refined sugar, 23514 Molasses, and 23515 Glucose and fructose, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, including 31000 Food products, 32000 Beverages, and 20000 Chemicals.
