Drought in France: sugar beets, forage and farm aid

On November 6, beet yields are judged catastrophic in Aisne, Marne and Ardennes, with negative results for the typical beet farm. On November 8, national sugar beet production falls by 30%, raising fears of a sugar shortage and price correction, while the Alsatian sugar industry is slowed. At the same time, Breton livestock farmers lack forage, grass growth is at its lowest level in at least 40 years, and Christmas tree producers report losses. Emergency aid is being mobilized, including €1.15 million in Doubs and €3.6 million in Corsica, but organic producers denounce their exclusion from the CASI plan.
