Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the Syrian cereal germ market volume increased from 43 000 t to 67 000 t, demonstrating overall expansion despite a volatile economic environment. The market faced a temporary setback in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains and logistics, leading to a short-term contraction.

Growth resumed from 2021 onward, primarily supported by a shift in consumer preferences toward whole grains for their perceived health benefits. This rising demand for healthier food options became a consistent driver for market recovery and subsequent expansion through 2022 and 2023.

International economic sanctions, such as the Caesar Act, and changes to customs legislation influenced the broader trade landscape. However, the market remained almost entirely dependent on domestic production, with imports constituting a minimal share throughout the period.
