The most likely consequence in the next few months after the destruction of the sugar beet processing factory would be:
**The price of sugar beets will increase.**
With the processing factory destroyed, there would be a reduced capacity to process sugar beets, leading to potential shortages. This reduced supply, combined with sustained or unchanged demand, would likely result in an increase in the price of sugar beets.
