Earlier Report Observations

The Mexican cottonseed oil market volume grew from 72 032 tons in 2018 to a peak of 81 366 tons in 2019, before entering a period of decline. This downward trend was most pronounced in 2021, when the market contracted sharply by 32% to 50 397 tons, driven by a simultaneous drop in domestic production and imports.

Global price volatility linked to climatic conditions and crop yield issues in 2022 further constrained the market, particularly affecting import volumes which fell dramatically. This contributed to the market size decreasing to 44 834 tons that year, highlighting Mexico's ongoing dependence on imported supplies to meet domestic demand.

A slight recovery to 45 361 tons in 2023 indicated market stabilization. The broader period saw an increased consumer focus on oils with favorable nutritional profiles, such as cottonseed oil, though this did not offset the larger supply-side constraints that defined the market's trajectory.
