Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market for wheat bran, sharps and residues in Saudi Arabia showed significant fluctuations. The total market volume declined to 579.9 thousand tons in 2019, then recovered over the next two years, reaching a high of 712 thousand tons in 2022. However, it dropped sharply to 576.7 thousand tons in 2023.

Domestic production grew steadily throughout the period, increasing from 308.6 thousand tons in 2018 to 365.9 thousand tons in 2023. In contrast, import volumes were volatile, falling in 2019 before rising to 382.1 thousand tons in 2022 and then contracting to 210.8 thousand tons in 2023. These import swings were the main factor behind the changes in overall market size.

Exports were negligible during these years, so the market volume was essentially the sum of local production and imports. The consistent expansion in domestic output was offset by the instability in imports, leading to the observed market movements.
