Earlier Report Observations
Italian production and market volume of not chemically modified cottonseed oil expanded from 18 200 t and 18 171 t in 2018 to 24 400 t and 24 341 t in 2020, respectively. This growth was supported by a 22.98% increase in the value of Italian exports of this oil in 2019, which reached USD 38 million, driven by demand from markets including Nigeria, Albania, France, Yemen, and Spain.
From 2021, both production and market volume entered a downward trend, falling to 18 500 t and 18 524 t by 2023. In the later part of the period, global shifts toward sustainable and organic products, alongside stricter quality controls and a focus on preventing adulteration, emerged as factors influencing labeling, traceability, and consumer preferences in the market.
