Earlier Report Observations

The cereal germ market in Western Asia grew consistently from 2018 to 2021, with total volume rising from 957 thousand tons to 1.07 million tons.

Following the 2021 peak, the market volume stabilized at 1.07 million tons in 2022 before contracting to 1.06 million tons in 2023. The 2023 decline coincided with a sharp reduction in import volumes, which fell to 75 thousand tons, even as domestic production continued to grow, reaching 983 thousand tons.
