𝗗𝘂𝘆𝗻𝗶𝗲 | 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗽 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 Sugar beet pulp is an important co-product of the sugar processing industry. And when this pulp is pressed rather than dried, it can be used as a cost-effective feed solution for livestock. That’s where Duynie comes in, helping to support more sustainable meat and dairy production. From planning and transport to operations and finance: Duynie has a long history of processing pressed sugar beet pulp in a reliable, efficient and sustainable way. In what is their most intensive operational period of the year, the whole Duynie team ensures efficient operations, reliable deliveries and high customer satisfaction. Whilst the valorisation of sugar beet pulp has been established in the Benelux for years, there’s still significant potential to be unlocked across Europe. Best of luck to all involved in this year’s campaign!

𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀 This is shown by the results of Cosun’s N-mineral project. The remaining amount of mineral nitrogen in the soil was measured on nearly 5,000 fields. For the majority of the fields assessed, the risk of nitrate leaching after harvest was below the applicable threshold values. In 2025, N-mineral levels remained below the nitrate leaching threshold on 95% of sugar beet fields, 84% of chicory fields and 60% of potato fields. These practical results not only demonstrate that growers are taking important steps towards more efficient nitrogen use, but also provide valuable insights into fertilisation allowances and leaching risks. N-mineral measurements can be an important building block for outcome-based approaches to water quality management. By focusing on measured results, they provide a clearer picture of farmers’ actual environmental performance than when relying solely on calculated indicators. This autumn, large-scale N-mineral measurements will once again be carried out. This time, however, they will not be organised by Cosun but through the Sector Approach programme of BO Akkerbouw, with the measurements funded by Ministerie van Landbouw, Visserij, Voedselzekerheid en Natuur.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 | 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗥𝗗&𝗜 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗸 What started as an internship in the Netherlands has grown into a career spanning more than 25 years in the food industry. Since 1 September 2025, Fanny Weinbreck has been bringing her passion for innovation, science and sustainability to her role as Chief RD&I Officer at Cosun. "It's the combination of science, sustainability and the practical side, the fact that everyone has a relationship with food, that I find so appealing." Together with her team, Fanny works at the Cosun innovation center on strengthening and accelerating innovation. For Fanny, the 'power of the plant' was part of what tipped the balance towards taking on this new adventure. "I love the puzzle of finding new ways to get even more out of the plant."

𝗔𝘃𝗶𝗸𝗼 | 𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Since 2025, Aviko has been taking an important step towards more sustainable production at its Lomm site: the installation of a fully electric e-boiler. This means part of the steam will no longer be generated using fossil fuels, but with fully green electricity instead. On 9 July, a key milestone was reached: the e-boiler was successfully installed in Lomm! The coming months will be dedicated to installation, connection and thorough testing of the e-boiler. The final result? An annual CO2 saving of at least 4,800 tonnes. In Lomm, Aviko is working with partners such as Enexis, Gemeente Venlo and Provincie Limburg towards a future proof, climate friendly production site. This project is part of Aviko's broader sustainability strategy. Read more about it in the sustainability report: https://lnkd.in/eAgAci8e #aviko #sustainableproduction #eboiler #electrification

𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 | 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀, 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 From valuable crop to food innovation: Cosun Ingredients is set up to drive and accelerate growth in plant-based food ingredients, with a focus on proteins, fibres and texturants. In this series, we highlight our ingredients. 𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺’𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘱: 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵 Beneath the soil lies a surprisingly versatile ingredient. From chicory root, we extract a soluble dietary fibre that helps make products more nutritious. Exactly what you need to make a snack a little healthier, without compromising on taste. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵-𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 Chicory root fibre is the only recognised plant-based prebiotic. A prebiotic serves as a food source for the gut bacteria that contribute to good health. In this way, the fibre supports digestive health from within and may help maintain normal bowel function. Thanks to its neutral-to-sweet taste and the availability of different fibre types, chicory root fibre can be used in a wide range of applications. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 In a cereal bar, chicory root fibre can replace sugar while increasing the fibre content, without compromising binding or texture. Some types provide up to sixty per cent of the sweetness of sugar, while milder varieties allow other flavours, such as nuts or cocoa, to shine through. Its benefits extend well beyond snack bars: it can make yoghurt creamier and helps give gluten-free baked goods an attractive golden-brown colour. #CosunIngredients #ChicoryRoot #Prebiotics #GutHealth
