MPL and Belgian Sugar Exports Accelerate as Harvest Yields Strong Results
With the start of the sugar campaign just behind us, Belgian sugar exports are gaining momentum. During the previous sugar season, Belgian freight forwarder Manuport Logistics (MPL) transported 28,599 containers, representing 719,000 tons of sugar. The forwarder plays a key role in Belgian sugar exports, which remained stable at 112 kilotons in July 2025 but were 43 percent lower than a year earlier. Expectations are higher for the current season, partly due to favorable weather conditions and rapid initial growth of the beets.
