Earlier Report Observations

Production of primary sugar crops in Belize showed significant volatility between 2018 and 2023. Output started at 1,708 thousand metric tons in 2018, rising to 1,794 thousand metric tons in 2019, before dropping sharply to 1,537 thousand metric tons in 2020. A strong rebound followed in 2021, with production reaching a peak of 1,894 thousand metric tons.

The initial growth period aligned with sugar being Belize's top export earner, which supported sector momentum. The surge in 2021 occurred even as private investments encouraged farmers to shift toward alternative crops, a trend that typically reduces sugarcane planting. The subsequent declines to 1,804 thousand metric tons in 2022 and 1,489 thousand metric tons in 2023 corresponded with continued successful diversification away from traditional crops like sugarcane and a sustained downturn in the citrus industry, which collectively redirected agricultural resources.

By 2024, government price controls on sugar led to local shortages and increased smuggling to Mexico, prompting the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry to examine the industry's structural challenges.
