Earlier Report Observations

The market for starch-manufacture residues in Eswatini showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. Starting at 2 687 t in 2018, it dipped to 2 467 t the following year before reaching a high of 3 254 t in 2020. After this peak, the market volume declined steadily, falling to 2 953 t in 2021, 2 553 t in 2022, and 2 362 t in 2023.

Domestic production increased gradually each year, from 2 035 t in 2018 to 2 294 t in 2023. In contrast, import flows were highly unstable: after a drop from 652 t to 375 t between 2018 and 2019, imports surged to 1 086 t in 2020, then fell back to 746 t in 2021, 340 t in 2022, and just 102 t in 2023. These import swings were the main cause of the market's overall fluctuations.

Exports played a minor role, with only 34 t shipped in 2023. The market's peak in 2020 coincided with the highest import volume, while the subsequent contraction was driven by shrinking imports despite steady growth in local production.
