Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris) contribute 14-20% of raw sucrose produced worldwide, whilst the rest of sugar production mainly comes from sugarcanes. Whilst sugarcanes are the “thirstiest crop” in the world, beets require around five times less water than sugarcane. Beets were domesticated from its wild relative, Beta maritime around 8,500 BC for medicinal, ornamental, fodder […]
