In 2023, China's sorghum losses were estimated at a certain level (not provided). Based on the forecast for 2024-2028, the sorghum losses are projected to increase steadily from 238,000 metric tons in 2024 to 256,000 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year percentage change reflects an incremental upward trend each year, suggesting growing challenges in mitigating sorghum losses. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the forecast period indicates a consistent increase in losses, averaging an annual rise over the five years.
Future trends to watch include climate impact on agricultural yields, pest and disease management improvements, and technological advancements in crop handling. Monitoring these factors will be crucial in predicting and managing future sorghum losses.
