In 2023, Russia led the global export of buckwheat with 89.492 million kilograms, showing a stable upward trend of 3.7% from the previous year. The United States and Lithuania followed, with Lithuania experiencing a robust growth of 6.16%. China's export declined by 18.7%, highlighting a downward trend in its participation. Notably, Slovenia and South Korea saw remarkable increases in exports by over 100% year-on-year, suggesting significant market expansion for these countries.
Key trends to watch in 2024 include whether Slovenia and South Korea can maintain their rapid export growth, and if China can recover its buckwheat export volumes amidst the observed downturn. The continuous rise in demand for gluten-free and healthy food alternatives may boost buckwheat exports globally.
