Mustard powder and prepared mustard market in CIS

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for mustard powder and prepared mustard in the CIS began at 22 788 t in 2018, driven by a high mustard harvest that year which maximized production. However, in 2019 and 2020, the market declined to 21 948 t and 21 081 t respectively, as production levels normalized and the COVID-19 pandemic introduced supply chain disruptions, though domestic output remained resilient.

State procurement programs under regulations 44-FZ and 223-FZ stimulated demand from 2021, aiding a market recovery to 23 406 t. The subsequent exit of import suppliers in 2022, linked to geopolitical sanctions, caused a sharp contraction in imports, pulling the market volume down to 20 982 t despite rising domestic production, underscoring a rapid shift toward import substitution.

By 2023, continued import substitution policies and government support for local manufacturers fueled a production surge, elevating the market to a record 28 615 t. The market reached near self-sufficiency, dominated by established players VGMZ 'Sarepta' and VGZ 'Rodos', with stable production extending into 2024 alongside modest consumer price increases.
