Global Feed Sorghum Consumption, Forecast 2021-2030 Share by Country (Thousand Metric Tons)

In 2023, China led the global feed sorghum consumption with a significant share of 34.89 thousand metric tons, followed by Mexico and Brazil at 20.21 and 8.89 thousand metric tons, respectively. The United States and Argentina made up the mid-tier consumers with 7.65 and 6.78 thousand metric tons. Among the lower-tier countries, Australia, India, and Japan showed modest consumption levels, while Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Taiwan, and South Africa represented the smallest shares. The past two years saw nil variation, with the five-year CAGR also at nil, indicative of stable consumption patterns.

Future trends to watch include shifts in major producers like China and Mexico possibly adopting biofuel policies impacting feed use, potential weather-related yield fluctuations, and a growing interest in alternative feedstocks to boost the efficiency of livestock production, which may influence sorghum demand dynamics differently across these regions by 2030.
