Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the buckwheat market volume in the Americas remained relatively stable in physical terms, ranging from 152.8 thousand tonnes in 2020 to 162.7 thousand tonnes in 2019. The volume saw a slight contraction in 2020, followed by a gradual recovery to 156.5 thousand tonnes by 2023.

In value terms, however, the market demonstrated consistent growth, expanding from 117.9 million USD in 2018 to 157.5 million USD in 2023. This increase of over 30% indicates rising prices or a shift towards higher-value buckwheat products during the period.

Production volumes fluctuated between 158.2 and 167.4 thousand tonnes, while the trade balance remained narrow with exports generally exceeding imports, suggesting the region is a net exporter of buckwheat.
