Earlier Report Observations

The Peruvian primary sugar crops market saw a notable expansion in 2019, with production reaching 13.5 million tonnes. This surge was primarily fueled by the recovery of sugarcane cultivation areas following the El Niño phenomenon and significant investments in technology by mill owners, a process initiated by the privatization of state-owned sugar mills which boosted productivity.

A gradual decline in output followed from 2020, with production falling to 12.3 million tonnes by 2021. This contraction was linked to a reported decrease in national sugarcane production and reduced performance from major mills such as Casa Grande and San Jacinto. Global market shifts, including Brazil's diversion of sugar cane to ethanol production and record international prices, further impacted the local sector. By 2023, production stabilized at 11.9 million tonnes.

The sector continues to focus on technological modernization to maintain competitiveness, managing a large cultivable land base. The deactivation of the El Niño phenomenon in early 2024 is anticipated to benefit general agricultural conditions, although broader economic instability presents an ongoing challenge.
