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

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for bran and cereal processing residues in Kyrgyzstan fluctuated between 2018 and 2023, starting at 177.6 thousand tons in 2018, dipping in 2019, and then generally rising to reach 194.6 thousand tons by 2023. Domestic production showed similar variability, while imports experienced a significant surge in 2021.

In 2022, the total market volume stabilized at 178.8 thousand tons. This followed a sharp drop in imports, which was largely offset by increased domestic production. The import decline coincided with high global prices for energy and feed raw materials, as well as phytosanitary certification requirements within the Customs Union, which affected market access for these products.

By 2023, the market volume reached its highest point in the period, driven by a recovery in imports and steady domestic output. The availability of grain milling by-products and continued investment in processing technologies for drying and pelleting supported the local supply chain.
