Earlier Report Observations

The market for primary sugar crops in Croatia contracted significantly from 2018 to 2023, with total volume falling from 927 thousand tons to 552 thousand tons. This decline of over 40% was driven by a sustained reduction in both domestic production and import volumes throughout the period.

A brief interruption to the downward trend occurred in 2020, when market size increased to 876 thousand tons due to a temporary recovery in production. However, this was followed by consecutive annual declines, with the sharpest drops in market volume taking place in 2022 and 2023.

By 2023, domestic production had fallen to 500 thousand tons and imports had decreased to 52 thousand tons, which together resulted in a market size that was less than 60% of its 2018 level.
