Europe Buckwheat Market was worth USD 0.45 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5%, to reach USD 0.54 billion by 2029.
Buckwheat is a plant that belongs to non-grasses and is majorly cultivated because of its grains which resemble cereals. It is also cultivated as a cover crop to maintain soil fertility, prevent soil erosion, and manage weeds, pests, and diseases before planting a commercial crop. It is related to herbs and flowering plants such as sorrel and knotweed. Its seeds are rich in complex carbohydrates and significant protein content and hence it is called pseudo cereal. It is a short-season crop that grows well on low fertility soils and hence it is also used as a part of crop rotation. It can also be grown in high altitudes and in cold weather as well. Buckwheat flour is widely consumed as noodles and many other food items. Buckwheat production is reduced in recent years due to the availability of nitrogenous fertilizers to maintain the fertility of the soil.
Increasing demand for healthy and nutritional food products due to the increasing health awareness is increasing the demand for buckwheat and its products. Several applications of buckwheat in the beverage and cosmetics industry, and growing demand for gluten-free and organic food are expected to drive the buckwheat market. However, a decrease in the production of buckwheat in recent years due to the availability of alternative ways to improve the soil fertility and reported issues of allergic reactions to buckwheat products are restraining the market growth.
