Earlier Report Observations

The market for wheat bran, sharps and residues in Guatemala grew from 114.4 thousand tons in 2018 to 125.5 thousand tons in 2019. In 2020, volume fell to 109.9 thousand tons; the supply of wheat from departments like Chimaltenango and Jutiapa influences the availability of bran and other by-products.

Recovery began in 2021 with market volume reaching 118.3 thousand tons, accelerated by the implementation of Government Agreement 164-2021 regulating integrated waste management, which affected agricultural residues like wheat bran. Growth continued in 2022 to 136.3 thousand tons.

In 2023, volume declined to 130.9 thousand tons amid conflicts in waste management that caused economic and environmental impacts. Wheat bran also saw increased use in producing organic fertilizers, reflecting a shift toward sustainable waste management.
