Earlier Report Observations

The market for cereal germ in Malawi, measured by production volume, experienced notable fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Output began at 153 thousand tonnes in 2018 and climbed to 170 thousand tonnes the following year, representing a significant increase. This upward movement, however, was followed by a period of variability rather than sustained growth.

After a minor contraction in 2020, production reached its highest point of 175 thousand tonnes in 2021. The market then entered a phase of gradual decline over the next two years, ultimately stabilizing at approximately 167.5 thousand tonnes by 2023.
