Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, cottonseed oil-cake production in Asia experienced moderate fluctuations. In 2018, subdued demand from animal feed manufacturers and ample stocks in spot markets contributed to lower prices, coinciding with a production decline to 10,832 thousand t in 2019. The market stabilized in 2020 as innovations like cold-pressed cottonseed oil products and solvent extraction technology for higher oil recovery supported a slight production increase to 10,857 thousand t.

Production continued to trend downward, reaching 9,878 thousand t in 2022. During this period, the influence of industry bodies such as the Cottonseed Crushers’ Association affected market practices. A recovery emerged in 2023, with production rising to 10,135 thousand t, driven by growing demand for cottonseed oil-cake as cattle feed due to its high protein content and the implementation of FSSAI regulations on extraction and refining processes.

Looking ahead, factors such as weather conditions in cotton-growing regions, global cotton production trends, and competition from alternative feeds like guar churi and mustard seed oil cake remained relevant for market dynamics, influencing raw material availability and demand patterns.
