Nigeria leads global sorghum consumption, holding onto its share from 2023. Notable past shifts include a significant rise of 7.39% in China and 8.45% in Tanzania, contrasting with a steep decline of 12.22% in the United States. Regional trends indicate a mix of stability and decline across several African countries, with Niger and Chad shrinking slightly.
Looking ahead, expected growth in sorghum utilization is anticipated in emerging markets like Yemen and Bolivia, driven by increasing demands for alternative grains. Monitoring evolving consumption patterns in China and India will be crucial as these nations expand their food diversification strategies.
