Earlier Report Observations

Kuwait's market for wheat bran, sharps and residues maintained a steady volume of approximately 71 500 metric tons per year between 2018 and 2020, indicating stable domestic production and consumption.

The market then entered a contraction phase, falling by 2.6% in 2021 and a further 5.7% in 2022 to reach 65 952 metric tons. This downturn was entirely reversed in 2023, when volume jumped 7.9% to 71 172 metric tons, nearly matching pre-decline levels.

Given that imports never exceeded 901 metric tons in any year and exports were zero, these fluctuations were almost exclusively driven by changes in local production, which mirrored the market size trajectory closely.
