American Beet Sugar Company

The American Beet Sugar Company was a major producer of sugar from sugar beets in the early 20th century, primarily operating in the United States. It processed sugar beets to extract sugar, competing with other sugar companies that used either beets or cane. The company played a significant role in the American sugar industry by providing domestically produced sugar, reducing reliance on imports, and supporting agricultural communities involved in beet farming. Over time, it merged with or was acquired by larger corporations, influencing the development and consolidation of the American sugar industry.
