| | | Sugar Russia produced 3.2 million metric tons of sugar beets in marketing year 2007, the largest production volume in recent history. Increased acreage and record yields were the driving force behind these production figures. In 2008, production is forecast to be slightly lower despite increased planting due mainly to an expected return to normal yields. Brazil provides the bulk of Russia's raw sugar imports while Belarus and Poland remain the largest suppliers of refined sugar. Sugar beet producers and processors have been lobbying for higher seasonal duties on imported sugar.
