Ethiopia: Sugar Production Grows Slowly due to Construction Delays and Drought

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

With increased processing capacity and better weather conditions expected to prevail, sugar production is forecast to climb to 370,000 metric tons in MY16/17 (May-Apr). MY15/16 production, while up year-over-year, was lower than expected because of the drought and factory construction delays. Sugar consumption, which is growing at a fast clip, continues to outstrip sugar supplies, making imports necessary. Imports are projected to grow year-over year, reaching 350,000 metric tons in MY16/17
