The global sorghum production landscape in 2023 was led by the United States with a 15.94% share, followed by Nigeria and Ethiopia. While the United States and India experienced declines, countries like Uganda, Mauritania, and Zambia showed notable positive growth. Mexico saw the largest year-on-year decrease among the top producers. Over the last five years, shifts in production dynamics have seen increased activities in some African nations and relatively steady or declining trends in others.
Looking forward, potential shifts in production will be influenced by climate change impacts, technological advancements in sorghum breeding, and evolving agricultural policies. Countries with increasing production shares should focus on sustainable practices to maintain and enhance their outputs.
