The sugar beet is one of the major crops besides sugarcane that is
used for sugar production. The crop is often found in temperate
climates. But due to the dynamics of global sugar market & need
to improve farmers' livelihoods, the sugar beet experimental trials
are ongoing in Kenya and other tropical countries (no
commercialization yet). This book assesses the opportunities and
challenges for successful sugar beet implementation in Kenya. The
book focuses on the biophysical factors (diseases, precipitation,
temperature, soil type & soil texture) and socio-economic
factors (social acceptance, economic feasibility, and long-term
sustainability). The book also presents a land suitability
assessment criterion, for assessing suitable sugar beet growing
regions in the tropics. This book will be a definitive work on
tropical sugar beet research. The book can be a useful reference
for all those who work in the sugar beet industry, scientists and
students, potential investors, and policy makers.
