Earlier Report Observations

The market for starch-manufacture residues in Nepal expanded significantly between 2018 and 2023, with total volume more than doubling from 11 760 tons to 25 606 tons. This growth was particularly strong in 2020 when the market surged by over 30% to 16 840 tons, setting a pace for subsequent increases.

Domestic production rose moderately from 12 128 tons in 2018 to 13 655 tons in 2023, but the primary driver of market expansion was a dramatic rise in imports. Import volumes jumped from just 6 tons in 2018 to 11 951 tons in 2023, with the most substantial inflows occurring after 2019. This shift toward imported residues fundamentally altered market supply and supported the consistent growth in total available volume.

Exports, which were minimal at 374 tons in 2018, ceased entirely from 2019 onward, indicating that the domestic market absorbed all locally produced and imported residues. The combination of steady production and soaring imports resulted in a continuously growing market throughout the period.
