Ancient Grain Market Overview :

There is no official definition of what ancient grains are, and most whole grains can be considered "old" because they have been around since the dawn of humanity. According to the Whole Grains Council, however, they are loosely defined as grains that have remained mostly unchanged over the last few generations. Therefore, Modern wheat would not fall into this category, but certain varieties such as Einkorn, Farro, Kamut and Spelt would fall into this category.Heirloom varieties of other traditional grains— such as black barley, red and black rice, blue corn — may also be called ancient grains. Certain grains primarily ignored until recently by Western palates (such as sorghum, chia, millet, quinoa, amaranth) would also be widely regarded as ancient grains. Sometimes less popular grains, such as buckwheat or wild rice, are also included.Globally, there is a good demand for ancient grains with half of the shoppers involved and almost 40% claiming the use of ancient grains at least once a week. And of those shoppers who are interested, more than 20% are willing to pay a premium for products that include old grain.

Impact Of Covid-19 On Ancient Grains Market:

The global outbreak of the Coronavirus is having a major impact on international trade of food sector. The effect in the cereals, pulses and oilseeds sector is generally less than in other agricultural sectors. However, companies face considerable challenges. COVID-19 has had many effects in this sector, but the impact is generally less than in other agricultural sectors. The other sectors are labor-intensive, deal with perishable products or serve mainly the catering sector. These products are essential ingredients for human and animal nutrition. In fact, the main factor weakening demand is the fall in oil prices. However, national and regional prices for some commodities increased in April 2020, due to restrictions in internal logistics and panic buying. The supply in this food sector is affected, but less than in sectors that require a lot of labor, such as horticulture. However, the availability of workers is a challenge. Food companies in Palestine, for example, mention that their workers were unable to come to work. Agricultural production of cereals, legumes and oilseeds is generally highly mechanized. Therefore, it is less dependent on a large workforce. The products are usually collected with harvesters and not by hand.
