United Kingdom Information Product Development Technical Reference Sugar Beet Seed Production Seed Processing Packaging and Dispatch

Packaging and Dispatch

Before the seed is shipped to the sugar factory or the farmers, the finished product is packed in units (1 unit (U) = 100.000 seeds), which is done based on the thousand seed weight in an automated packaging machine.

On their way through the packaging machine, the folding boxes are continuously checked regarding the correct weight, labelling, packing in cartons, and palletizing. The system regularly takes samples which undergo final quality checks in the laboratory.

Only after the final confirmation that all of the quality demands are met, may the seed be shipped to our customers and farmers. Specific pelleting and application of active ingredients according to the different needs, as well as order-specific packaging require large capacities to allow timely production of quantities ordered.
