Earlier Report Observations

Sudan's banana market volume showed a steady upward trajectory from 2018 to 2022, climbing from 912.1 thousand tons to 947.1 thousand tons. This growth was entirely supported by increases in domestic production, as imports were absent throughout the period. Exports were sporadic and low in volume, exerting minimal influence on the total market size.

The market expansion peaked in 2022, followed by stabilization in 2023 with volume reaching 946.9 thousand tons. Over the full 2018-2023 span, production rose consistently, driving the overall market gain of approximately 35 thousand tons, or about 3.8%.
