PRODUCTION OF SUGAR

There are two major crops used to produce table sugar, sugar
cane and sugar beets. Though they are separate and distinct
plants.
In 2016, more than 130 countries produce either sugarcane or
sugar beet, and ten of these produce sugar from both cane and
beet crops. Sugarcane, on average, accounts for about 80% of
global sugar production.
Production has become increasingly concentrated. In 1980 the
top ten producing countries accounted for 56% of global,
whereas in 2016 the top ten accounted for 76%.

 CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR

Developing countries account for 77% of global

consumption, and are expected to be the primary sources
of growth, particularly in Asia. Global consumption
continues to expand, averaging 1.83% over the past 10
years driven largely by population growth, rising incomes
and shifting dietary patterns.
