The per capita volume of sugar cane consumption in Nigeria is forecasted to decrease from 0.36 kilograms in 2024 to 0.30 kilograms by 2028. This represents a notable decline year-on-year, averaging a reduction of approximately 3.57% from 2024 to 2025, 2.94% from 2025 to 2026, 3.03% from 2026 to 2027, and 6.25% from 2027 to 2028. Compared to 2023, where the volume was higher, this trend indicates a steady decline over a five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer preferences, potential increases in local production efficiency, and impacts of government policies on agricultural products. Monitoring these factors could provide insights into reversing or accelerating this declining trend.
