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

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market for bran, sharps and residues from cereal or legume processing in Madagascar showed consistent growth. Production increased from 98.8 thousand tonnes to 121.0 thousand tonnes, with market volume rising from 99.5 thousand tonnes to 120.1 thousand tonnes.

This upward trend continued through 2021 to 2023, reaching a production of 151.6 thousand tonnes and a market volume of 155.5 thousand tonnes by 2023. The expansion was supported by a diversified agricultural sector producing over a million tonnes of cereals and starches annually, alongside progress in the agri-food sector aimed at reducing imports. In 2023, World Bank funding for legume seed purchases enhanced production quality, while the established rice cultivation in the Alaotra-Mangoro region provided a steady base. Furthermore, the national rice development strategy targeting self-sufficiency by 2024 and the development of cassava processing plants for bio and fair-trade flour underscored ongoing efforts to strengthen agricultural output and residue supply.
