Earlier Report Observations

Production of cottonseed oil in Madagascar increased from 1 074 t in 2018 to 1 218 t in 2020. This growth was supported by rising global demand for Malagasy essential oils, which stimulated investment in local vegetable oil sectors and heightened interest in natural, domestically produced oils.

Output declined to 1 117 t in 2021 before recovering to 1 200 t by 2023. The revival coincided with a government review of the edible oil industry, which likely led to policy measures aimed at strengthening local production, alongside continued dynamism in the essential oils market that attracted investor interest.

In 2024, the market experienced a surge in edible oil imports, prompting national producers to seek safeguard measures. Concurrently, local player SEDIEM expanded its soybean oil operations, and the government implemented policies to boost domestic output and regulate prices, shaping the competitive landscape for vegetable oils.
