In 2012, 110 years have passed since the establishment of the Central Unity of Sugar Beet Farmers for the Czech Kingdom, which represented a significant turning point on the way to enforcement of the professional interests of the farmers - sugar beet growers against the approaches of the owners of sugar beet factories when selling the sugar beet. After a brief presentation of the situation related to the formation of sugar beet production areas in the Czech lands during the second half of the 19th century and looking back at the then primitive technique related to growing sugar beet, the attention is turned to the issue of the relationship between sugar beet growing and sugar industry as %26quot;connected vessels%26quot;. From the beginning, however, strained relations prevailed among them. The owners of sugar factories began to create cartel associations through which they tried to dominate the %26quot;market%26quot; with sugar beet. On the contrary, the sugar beet growing movement established Central Unity as a defensive group, which operated completely in the %26quot;direction%26quot; of the Agrarian Party; with its help the Agrarians managed to assert themselves economically and politically in the Czech rural areas.
