Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the barley market in Mauritania showed stable volumes, moving from 1 465 t to 1 494 t. Domestic production varied slightly each year, while imports remained negligible until 2021 when 20 t were recorded.

A sharp increase occurred in 2022, with market volume reaching 1 744 t, a 16.7% rise compared to 2021. This jump was driven entirely by imports, which soared to 267 t while production held steady at around 1 477 t. In 2023, the market receded slightly to 1 711 t as imports dropped to 233 t. The elevated import levels in both years align with the launch of a state-supported initiative that distributed subsidized barley for animal feed, likely boosting demand for imported barley.
