Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the sugar cane market in Zambia, entirely dependent on domestic production, exhibited a fluctuating pattern. Overall volume grew from 4 630 thousand tons to 4 750 thousand tons, though the path included both increases and declines.

After a modest rise to 4 682 thousand tons in 2019, production contracted over the next two years, dropping to 4 479 thousand tons in 2020 and reaching a low of 4 250 thousand tons in 2021. The market then rebounded strongly, climbing to 4 550 thousand tons in 2022 and further to 4 750 thousand tons in 2023.

Despite the downturn in the middle of the period, the market ended higher than it began, demonstrating recovery and stability in domestic output by 2023.
