Earlier Report Observations

Sudan's cottonseed oil production saw a slight dip from 13 900 t in 2018 to 13 700 t in 2019, a period marked by a constrained raw material base as cottonseed output fell below 30 000 t due to shrinking irrigated cotton cultivation areas.

After a sharp rebound to 17 300 t in 2020 and a subsequent drop in 2021, production entered a phase of steady recovery, reaching 16 500 t by 2023. This later growth was facilitated by the broader availability of modern oil processing plants and the adoption of low-cost, high-efficiency oil presses, which enhanced the industry's overall crushing capacity and operational efficiency.

Throughout the period, the sector retained a mix of traditional and modern practices, with entities like the Arab Sudanese Vegetable Oil Company actively pursuing industry modernization to bolster the domestic supply of vegetable oils for food security.
