The forecast for sorghum consumption in India between 2024 and 2028 indicates a steady decline. From a consumption level of 3.54 million metric tons in 2023, the forecasts predict a reduction to 3.13 million metric tons by 2028.
The year-on-year percentages show a consistent decline: -2.85% from 2024 to 2025, -2.64% from 2025 to 2026, -3.01% from 2026 to 2027, and -2.80% from 2027 to 2028.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is a negative indication, suggesting a persistent downward trend for sorghum consumption in India.
Future trends to watch for include factors affecting both production and demand such as climate change, government subsidies for alternative crops, and dietary shifts towards different cereals. Additionally, technological advancements in agriculture may impact productivity and thereby affect availability and pricing.
