Earlier Report Observations

Wheat bran production and market size in Libya exhibited significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Output climbed to a peak of 156.7 thousand tons in 2021, but then contracted sharply, falling to 112.5 thousand tons by 2023. The market's trajectory was primarily driven by changes in domestic production, as import levels remained minimal throughout the period.

The market expanded notably in 2020, with production rising by over 25% to reach 155.1 thousand tons, a level that was sustained into 2021. However, a substantial downturn commenced in 2022, leading to a cumulative decline in production of more than 28% over the following two years. This volatility resulted in a market size reduction of over 40 thousand tons from its 2021 high.

Libya's market for wheat bran, sharps, and residues remained almost entirely supplied by domestic milling activity, with imports never exceeding 0.6 thousand tons in any given year and exports being absent. Consequently, the overall market volume closely mirrored the fortunes of local production.
