Südzucker earnings for the first three quarters improve

The result was driven mainly by the significantly improved earnings of the CropEnergies and special products segments. These offset the sugar segment's anticipated sharp earnings decline. Consolidated group revenues declined to € 4.949 (previous year: 5.233) bn, down € 284 m from this time last year. According to the company, this development is primarily attributable to the sugar and CropEnergies segments.
