Earlier Report Observations

The South Korean market for legume bran, sharps and residues saw pronounced volatility from 2018 to 2023, characterized by rapid growth followed by a steep decline. Total market volume expanded from 344.5 tons to a peak of 572.2 tons in 2020, then contracted sharply to 50.5 tons by 2023.

This trajectory was primarily dictated by import volumes, which swung from 302.7 tons to a high of 577 tons before falling to just 6 tons. Domestic production remained relatively stable throughout the period, ranging between 41.8 and 50.2 tons annually and thus having a limited impact on the overall market size.
