In 2024, the United States leads global sorghum processing at 2.35 million metric tons, despite a slight 0.73% decline from the previous year. Burkina Faso ranks second with 0.632 million metric tons, reflecting a 1.13% decrease. Tanzania processes 0.251 million metric tons, experiencing a larger 1.74% fall. Uganda and Nigeria show slight growths of 2.53% and 0.34%, respectively. South Africa and Ghana see modest declines (0.97% and 0.38%), while Kenya drops 1.96%. Smaller contributors like Australia and Angola face notable decreases. The CAGR from 2019 to 2024 indicates stability in mature markets but varying trends in emerging markets.
Future trends to watch include the impact of climate change on harvest yields, technological advancements in processing, and shifts in export demands, particularly from developed countries. Attention should be given to Africa's growth potential, considering the notable performances by countries like Uganda and Nigeria. Monitoring trade policies and investment in agricultural technology will also be crucial in shaping the global sorghum processing landscape.
