Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for primary sugar crops in Lebanon showed a mild downward trend between 2018 and 2023, decreasing from 10 655 tonnes to 10 374 tonnes. This represented a total contraction of approximately 2.6% over the six-year period, with the most noticeable dip occurring in 2020 and a further slight decline in 2023.

Domestic production held relatively steady, averaging close to 10 500 tonnes per year and forming the vast majority of market supply. Trade flows were minimal, with imports near zero and exports only beginning to rise from a very low base in the final years, having a negligible impact on the overall market size derived from local output.
