In 2023, the import of maize bran, sharps, and other residues to the US stood slightly lower than the 13.35 million kilograms projected for 2024. Notably, the forecasted data indicates a stable upward trajectory, with imports anticipated to grow each year, reaching 14.255 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates for these imports illustrate a gradual increase, reflecting a consistent demand over the upcoming years.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in agricultural policies, trade agreements, and global maize supply, which could impact import volumes. Additionally, advancements in alternative residue processing and increased domestic production capabilities may also influence future import trends.
