Earlier Report Observations

The domestic market for wheat bran and residues in Yemen contracted sharply from 457 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 237 thousand tonnes in 2023. This decline was primarily driven by the emergence of substantial exports starting in 2020, which redirected over 100 thousand tonnes annually away from local consumption. While domestic production showed relative stability between 421 and 441 thousand tonnes from 2020 to 2022, it fell to 331 thousand tonnes in 2023, contributing to the smaller market size.

By 2024, the market faced a severe food security crisis characterized by currency collapse, rising fuel prices, and ongoing conflict. A ban on wheat flour imports directly disrupted milling operations, reducing the supply of wheat bran as a by-product. These conditions threatened consumption patterns and further constrained the availability of wheat bran residues within Yemen.
