Earlier Report Observations

The millet market in Australia and New Zealand showed significant volume changes from 2018 to 2023, starting at 37 800 metric tons, peaking at 41 100 t in 2019, then declining to 34 700 t by 2022 before recovering to 38 200 t in 2023.

Domestic production remained steady near 37 000 t annually, meaning the market fluctuations were largely due to trade activity. A sharp rise in imports to 6 000 t in 2020 coincided with a market contraction, as increased exports during that period reduced net domestic supply.

The market's rebound in 2023 was driven by a recovery in imports to nearly 2 000 t alongside a drop in exports, highlighting how trade balances directly shaped local availability throughout the period.
