Montréal and Vancouver, Canada – Rogers Sugar Inc. has announced a five-year agreement with the Alberta Sugar Beet Growers for the supply of sugarbeets to its Taber sugar refining plant. The new supply contract covers the 2025 to 2029 crops.
Established almost 75 years ago, the Taber operation — the only sugarbeet processing facility in Canada — is supported by approximately 200 southern Alberta farm families, which supply the refinery with sugarbeets. As a result, all sugar produced at this location is 100 percent Canadian.
“We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the Alberta Sugar Beet Growers for another five years. This agreement will help support the needs of our customers in Western Canada,” stated Mike Walton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lantic Inc and Rogers Sugar Inc.
