Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for legume bran, sharps and residues in Australia expanded consistently from 922 t in 2018 to a peak of 2 204 t in 2022, driven primarily by rising imports which grew from 29 t to over 1 550 t during this period. Domestic production showed volatility, while consumption grew steadily each year until a slight stabilization occurred in 2023, with the market volume reaching 2 178 t.

In 2021, Australia's position as a fast-growing exporter in related cereal residue categories highlighted broader sectoral strength, coinciding with a period of significant import growth for legume residues. The following year, the market was shaped by regulatory frameworks enforcing Maximum Residue Limits for pesticides, which standardized quality and compliance for both domestic and imported products. Concurrently, rising global demand for plant-based proteins supported increased consumption, further sustaining market growth through elevated import volumes.
