Data and Analysis
FAS/Pretoria’s Sugar annual report provides information on the production, supply, and distribution of sugar in Eswatini for marketing year (MY) 2023/24, MY 2024/25, and MY 2025/26.
Eswatini sugar cane production in MY 2023/24 was affected by unfavorable climatic conditions and proliferation of the yellow aphid leaf. This affected cane production and quality resulting to the season ending earlier than normal.
Post forecasts sugar cane production in Eswatini will increase by 1.5 percent to 5.6 million MT in MY 2023/24, based on increased available irrigation water, expanded planted area, and a return to trend yields.
