Earlier Report Observations

The cottonseed oil-cake market in Botswana opened the period at 655 t in 2018 but contracted sharply the following year to 525 t as import volumes fell by over 30%. A partial recovery to 574 t occurred in 2020, supported by a rebound in imports.

Market volume then dropped to 402 t in 2021 due to a steep decline in imports. Growth resumed in 2022, with the market reaching 518 t. In 2023, the market declined significantly to 323 t, a period which saw increased cross-border trade of soya-bean oil-cake from Zambia, indicating a shift in regional supply patterns that likely influenced the availability of cottonseed oil-cake.
