Wheat bran, sharps and residues market in Oman, 2026

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the wheat bran market in Oman experienced considerable volatility in both volume and value. Market volume peaked at 281.2 thousand tonnes in 2019 before dropping to 227.1 thousand tonnes in 2020. It then recovered to 264.1 thousand tonnes in 2021, contracted again to 221.7 thousand tonnes in 2022, and reached a new high of 288.2 thousand tonnes in 2023.

These fluctuations were primarily driven by changes in import volumes, which ranged from 149.5 thousand tonnes to 209.5 thousand tonnes over the period. Domestic production gradually declined from 101.5 thousand tonnes in 2019 to 75.2 thousand tonnes in 2022, with a slight rebound to 79.1 thousand tonnes in 2023. Export volumes, which spiked to 37.3 thousand tonnes in 2020, fell sharply in subsequent years, contributing to higher net availability in the domestic market.

In value terms, the market followed a similar pattern, reaching $60.8 million in 2019 and $66.7 million in 2021, before settling at $65.4 million in 2023. The disparity between volume and value movements in some years indicates changes in unit prices, but the overall trend reflects the supply dynamics from imports and domestic output.
