The global sorghum production landscape is dominated by the United States, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, which together account for a significant portion of total production. Between 2022 and 2023, the most notable increases were observed in China and Brazil, indicating strategic expansions in these markets. Conversely, India and Mexico experienced marked declines. France and Russia also showcased impressive growth, signaling potential shifts in European production capacities.
Looking forward, trends indicate a growing diversification of sorghum production, with emerging markets such as Kenya and Malawi showing strong year-on-year growth. Countries like Hungary and Kazakhstan are also expanding rapidly, potentially challenging the traditional centers of production in the near future.
