Earlier Report Observations

The New Zealand market for wheat bran, sharps, and residues experienced significant fluctuations from 2018 to 2023. After an initial volume of 82 367 tons in 2018, the market contracted sharply to 69 580 tons in 2019, then rebounded strongly to 83 804 tons in 2020. The following years saw moderate adjustments, with the market reaching a period high of 84 565 tons in 2022 before easing to 81 230 tons in 2023.

The market's peak in 2022 was supported by two key structural elements. The New Zealand Wheat Board, as the central authority for wheat and flour, coordinates animal feed contracts and quality standards, which helps stabilize demand for bran as a feed ingredient. Simultaneously, New Zealand's flour mills rely on imports for over three-quarters of their milling wheat, meaning the volume of imported grain directly governs the domestic supply of bran and other milling residues available on the market.
