Data and Analysis
FAS/Pretoria’s Sugar annual report provides information on the production, supply, and distribution of sugar in Zimbabwe for marketing year (MY) 2023/24, MY 2024/25, and MY 2025/26.
Zimbabwe’s production of its staple crop, corn, is expected to drop by almost 60 percent in marketing year 2024/25 due to extreme drought conditions associated with the El Niño weather phenomenon.
Cane production in Zimbabwe is forecast to increase in MY 2024/25, as major dams have sufficient volumes to supply irrigation water to cane-producing regions. Production will also be supported by carry-over cane due to the late start to the MY 2023/24 harvests after a contractual dispute between growers and millers.
