A. The demand for Sugar beets will decrease

B. The cost of processing sugar beets will increase worldwide

C. The farmers near the town will immediately plant more sugar beets.

D. The price of sugar beets will increase.

In this situation the price of the sugar beets will increase as there is no adequate production due to the flood.
