The national organisation of Austria's sugar beet growers (VÖR), known as “Die Rübenbauern”. It brings together four provincial organisations: Lower Austria and Vienna, Upper Austria, Burgenland and Styria. It negotiates growing conditions and the beet price with the sugar processor (AGRANA) and represents growers on sugar market issues.
Voluntary membership. Growers join through their provincial organisation: Rübenbauernbund für Niederösterreich und Wien, Oberösterreichische Rübenbauerngenossenschaft, Burgenländischer Rübenbauernbund or Steirische Rübenbauerngenossenschaft. The website does not state exact entry conditions.
The organisation does not publish its membership fee — please ask directly.
