Earlier Report Observations

Uganda's wheat gluten market volume showed significant volatility from 2018 to 2023, moving from 2 865 tons to a peak of 3 417 tons. The period included two distinct contractions, with the most severe occurring in 2022.

The market's sharp decline to 2 512 tons in 2022 was primarily caused by global supply-chain disruptions following the Russia-Ukraine conflict. These disruptions restricted wheat imports into Uganda, limiting the raw material available for local gluten production and increasing costs.

A strong recovery followed in 2023, with market volume surging by 36% to reach 3 417 tons, the highest level recorded during the entire period.
