Earlier Report Observations

The implementation of the Organic Law on Agrobiodiversity, Seeds and Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture in 2018 established a regulatory framework for seed production, which supported an increase in cottonseed oil output. Production rose from 223.9 tonnes in 2018 to 277.9 tonnes in 2020, while market volume expanded from 228.2 tonnes to 280.0 tonnes. The continued application of this law in 2019 and the introduction of technical rules for fertilizer registration in 2020 bolstered agricultural production, including cotton, sustaining this growth period.

In 2021, the health regulatory agency ARCSA issued resolutions on nutritional labeling and sanitary control for vegetable oils, affecting product commercialization. However, 2022 saw a 4% drop in household consumption of vegetable oils driven by inflation and shifting consumer habits, while the Russia-Ukraine conflict and climate factors pressured supply chains and prices. These elements contributed to a reduction in production to 272.3 tonnes and market volume to 277.1 tonnes.

The market rebounded in 2023, with market volume reaching 294.0 tonnes and production stabilizing at 273.1 tonnes, indicating a recovery from the previous year's disruptions.
