Zimbabwe: Sugar Annual

FAS Pretoria forecasts that sugar cane production in MY 2026/27 will increase by four percent from MY 2025/26 based on expanded planted area and available water for irrigation. Additionally, sugar mills conducted off crop mill maintenance to enhance milling performance. MY 2026/27 imports are forecast to drop year-on-year based on imposed import surcharges; this is expected to lead to a decline in exports as the industry prioritizes supplying the domestic market. On August 15, 2025, Zimbabwe received a U.S. tariff rate quota (TRQ) allocation of 12,910 MT for FY 2026. By November 2025, Zimbabwe had already utilized its FY 2026 TRQ.
