For the period from July to January 2018-2019 of the marketing year, export sales of wheat bran are 28% less than for the same period last year.

Ukraine sold only 285.9 thousand tons of products.

This is due to a decrease in the volume of purchases by the traditional largest importer of Ukrainian products by Turkey from 339.1 thousand tons in July-January last year to 210 thousand tons of the current period. In addition, procurement was also reduced by Egypt, which is one of the main buyers of the 2017-2018 marketing year season.

At the same time, Ukraine slightly expanded the geographic distribution of wheat bran - Saudi Arabia and Singapore began to buy Ukrainian products.

It should be recalled that wheat bran is a by-product of the production of flour and is a remote shell of grains in the processing of grain. Until recently, they were used exclusively in animal husbandry as feed.

However, along with the shell, fiber, a lot of vitamins and minerals are removed from the grain. Bread baked from such a grain becomes "refined", acquires a good taste, but loses value for the body. Therefore, it is recommended to use whole grain products, in particular, wheat bran.

Fiber-rich bran helps in cleansing the body, stimulates the digestive process. And the vitamins A, B, E contained in the product are useful for metabolism and hemodialysis. With their help, the functioning of the digestive, muscular, cardiovascular and nervous systems is regulated, hormonal levels are normalized.
