Earlier Report Observations

The Egyptian market for raw cane or beet sugar in solid form showed considerable movement between 2018 and 2023. Volume started at 13 229 thousand tons in 2018, climbed to 14 877 thousand tons the following year, then contracted to 12 677 thousand tons in 2020. A vigorous upturn followed in 2021, lifting the market to 17 124 thousand tons. After a dip to 15 578 thousand tons in 2022, volume recovered to 17 583 thousand tons in 2023.

A key development was the establishment of the world's largest sugar beet factory in Egypt by Canal Sugar, part of Al Khaleej Sugar Refinery, in 2020. With an annual capacity of 900 thousand tons, this investment enhanced domestic production potential, supporting the market's rebound in 2021. That same year, Al Khaleej Sugar Refinery secured approval to build a beetroot factory in Spain, signaling ongoing strategic growth tied to Egypt's sugar beet sector.
