Nigeria: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NI2025-0004
FAS-Lagos forecasts a 12 percent increase in raw sugar imports in marketing year (MY) 2025/26 compared to the prior year. This is due to increased foreign exchange availability, appreciation of the naira, and the projected increase in consumption. Sugarcane area harvested is expected to increase by about five percent in MY 2025/26 to 100,000 hectares compared to the prior year’s estimate. This is due to continued public-private investments in sugarcane production. Despite the prohibition on refined sugar imports, imports increased in the last marketing year.
