Bran, sharps and residues from cereal or legume processing market in Guinea

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for bran and residues in Guinea increased from 171.8 thousand tons in 2018 to 199.3 thousand tons in 2019, supported by the launch of the AgriFARM project and the Integrated Agricultural Development Project (PDAIG). These initiatives aimed to improve market access for small-scale producers and strengthen the resilience of family farms, contributing to higher domestic production.

COVID-19 restrictive measures in 2020 disrupted agricultural supply chains and local grain markets, leading to a sharp decline in market volume to 148.4 thousand tons. After a further drop to 132.1 thousand tons in 2021, recovery began in 2022, reaching 149.4 thousand tons. By 2023, volume had risen to 173.7 thousand tons, aided by the delivery of 1 000 agricultural machines—including tractors and tillers—and the organization of the General States of Agriculture, which focused on enhancing productivity and reducing post-harvest losses.
