Earlier Report Observations

The rye market volume in Australia and New Zealand experienced a modest contraction over the period from 2018 to 2023, declining from 29 378 tonnes to 28 574 tonnes. This overall decrease of approximately 800 tonnes represented a drop of around 2.7% across the six-year span.

After three consecutive years of decline from 2018 to 2021, the market saw a rebound in 2022 with volume rising by 404 tonnes to 28 708 tonnes.

Domestic production trends closely mirrored these market movements, given that import levels remained negligible throughout the period.
