Earlier Report Observations

Sweden's wheat and meslin flour market volume fluctuated significantly between 2018 and 2023, rising to 650 thousand tons in 2019 before declining to 472 thousand tons in 2021. A partial recovery to 491 thousand tons occurred in 2022, followed by a sharp 38% surge to 675 thousand tons in 2023.

The market value increased from 224 million USD in 2020 to 263 million USD in 2022, driven by a 16% global price spike for wheat and meslin flour due to supply chain disruptions and export restrictions from major producers. Regulatory changes in the UK, such as mandatory folic acid fortification for non-wholemeal flour from October 2022, altered regional trade conditions and labeling requirements.
