In April 2020, Uganda's annual sugar output was estimated at 510,000 metric tonnes. With Uganda's annual consumption of 360,000 metric tonnes, approximately 150,000 metric tonnes annually are available for export.[16]

As of November 2020, national sugar output was estimated at 550,000 metric tonnes annually. At the same time, annual national consumption was estimated at 370,000 metric tonnes. This leaves a surplus of approximately 180,000 metric tonnes annually. Due to refusal by three of Uganda's immediate neighbors (Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania) to allow sugar imports from Uganda, the national sugar stockpile, as of November 2020, was estimated at 160,000 metric tonnes of crystalline sugar powder, worth about US$45 million. The country is now looking at regional markets, including Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Zambia.[17]

In 2022, national sugar production was estimated at 600,000 metric tonnes annually,[18] with national consumption of about 380,000 metric tonnes. That left approximately 220,000 metric tonnes available for export, annually.[19][20] In October 2022, it was projected that the country would produce 822,000 metric tonnes in calendar year 2022. About 720,000 metric tonnes of that, would be brown table sugar and about 102,000 metric tonnes would be white industrial sugar.[21][22]
