Methodology

Bilateral pairs in the source data are not fully reconciled: an import record here and its mirror export elsewhere can disagree because of timing, classification and valuation gaps. Partner-derived gap filling and food-aid additions can also apply. The yearly reporter totals below sum those bilateral flows for sorghum imports, 2020-2024. Displayed quantities keep two decimals below 1,000 tonnes and whole tonnes above; values are full current US dollars, unadjusted for inflation. The 2024 sorghum imports ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities; values are not used for ranking. In the sorghum imports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. The sorghum imports change uses overlapping reporters only; countries entering or leaving the listed set are shown separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does China's 91.3 percent share describe?

China reported 8,655,827 of the 9,478,475 tonnes in the 2024 listed data across 102 reporting countries. The share describes this dataset, not the world market; non-reporters sit outside both the total and the ranking.

Why are South Africa's, Uganda's and Brazil's gains shown without percentages?

South Africa moved from 11,926 to 164,105 tonnes, Uganda from 3,933 to 40,201 and Brazil from 2,606 to 34,750. Rates off such bases would run to four digits while describing tens of thousands of tonnes, so the gains appear in absolute terms with both endpoints shown.

Why did Mexico and Japan retreat so far between 2020 and 2024?

Mexico fell from 322,621 tonnes in 2020 to 35,746 tonnes in 2024 (down 88.9 percent) and Japan from 382,266 to 122,071 tonnes (down 68.1 percent). Both endpoints are reported quantities, so the retreats count inside the change arithmetic; the table attributes no causes.

What does this sorghum imports series not show?

This dataset does not cover production, stocks, domestic use, or processing; it records reporter-level import quantities and values, so its comparisons stay on the import side.
