Earlier Report Observations

Zimbabwe's sugar cane market volume demonstrated a clear upward trajectory between 2018 and 2023, growing from 5 441 thousand tons to 6 537 thousand tons. This represents an overall increase of more than 1 million tons, driven by consistent annual growth in domestic production, which constitutes the entire market as imports were negligible.

The expansion was not uniform, with particularly strong growth phases in 2020 and 2023, where volume jumped by approximately 5% and 8% respectively. The period saw a brief stabilization in 2021, where the market grew by a marginal 0.4%, before resuming a stronger growth pace in the subsequent years.

By 2023, production reached its highest point in the observed period at 6 537 thousand tons, underscoring the sector's capacity for significant output increases.
