Belgium counts four sugar producers with eight sugar factories, as there are Raffinerie Tirlemontoise (four factories), Groupe Sucrier (two factories), Sucrerie de Fontenoy (one factory) and Suikerfabriek van Veurne (one factory). In Wallonia sugar is produced in Brugelette, Frasnes-les-Buissenal, Fontenoy, Genappe and Wanze. The production sites in Flanders are Moerbeke, Tienen and Veurne. The Belgian quotum is 826.000 tons. Annually, the Belgian sugar manufacturers produce on average 1 million tons of sugar. This represents a yield of 10 tons per ha. More than half of this production is delivered on the Belgian market and 40/ is exported, the rest is stored. On the Belgian market, more than 85/ is delivered to the industry, 14/ to the households and 1/ to the chemical industry. The Belgian sugar producers are associated in the "Societe Generale des Fabricants de Sucre de Belgique asbl", abbreviated SUBEL. SUBEL's mission is studies and policy preparation, information and services to the members, representation on all political levels. The association had five activity domains: the Common Market Organisation for Sugar, the interprofessionnal relation with the beet growers, the promotion of the sugar image, environmental policy and nutrition policy.
