Pakistan is the world’s seventh-largest sugar producer and also the world’s seventh-largest sugar consumer.
Pakistan has spent much of the last decade exporting its surplus sugar, often to Afghanistan, but has recently started to import following a cane crop shortfall.
Sugar cane competes for acreage with cotton, rice and corn in Pakistan, and its development can be influenced by water availability from each year’s monsoon.
Pakistani sugar consumption is around 26k per person per year, which is normal for the region.
