In 2023, China's sorghum consumption saw the highest increase at 23.4%, reaching a significant 10.3 million metric tons. Brazil also exhibited strong growth with a 10.35% increase. Contrarily, the United States and Australia experienced notable declines of 16.37% and 24.36% respectively. Other countries with declining consumption included Japan, Ukraine, and several African nations. India and Yemen showed moderate growth, while Nigeria remained stable. Over the last five years, global trends in sorghum consumption indicate varied regional demand shifts with modest overall growth.
Future trends to watch in global sorghum consumption include potential increases in countries with growing agricultural and food security needs. The rise of alternative grains due to climate change may influence demand in African and Asian markets. Additionally, China's continued investment may drive further increases in their consumption.
