Sugar beet is grown all over Europe. California used to grow a lot (Holly Sugar Co.)Don't know if they still do.
N.B. You can make alcohol from beet sugar, but not rum. Rum has to come from a sugar cane based product.

As rum is my tipple John that's why I'm eager to have a go with this Jaggery that I've now found out you can buy from Indian markets here.
