Earlier Report Observations

The cereal germ market in Central Asia expanded from 443 thousand tons in 2018 to 481.5 thousand tons in 2023. This growth was primarily driven by record grain harvests in 2022 and 2023, which increased the raw material base for cereal germ production. The 2022 harvest led to higher output, while the ten-year high grain harvest in 2023 further pushed production volumes up.

Market volumes experienced fluctuations during the period, with a slight dip in 2019 followed by a recovery in 2020. The region's grain sector has long been dominated by wheat monoculture, providing a stable foundation for cereal germ supply. Logistical challenges and the introduction of export quotas in 2022 affected the grain market but did not prevent the overall expansion of cereal germ consumption.
