Earlier Report Observations

Production of cottonseed oil-cake in Chile fell sharply from 2 200 t in 2018 to 800 t in 2020, before recovering moderately to 1 100 t by 2023. The market volume remained well below its initial level throughout the period.

During 2021 and 2022, the local market faced competition from imports of soybean meal from countries like Colombia, the United States, Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil. This external supply likely pressured domestic production, coinciding with a slight dip in cottonseed oil-cake output to 1 000 t in 2022.

In 2024, regulatory developments included Supreme Decree No. 47, which established collection and recycling targets for used lubricating oils under Chile's Extended Producer Responsibility law. This framework promotes circular economy practices and influences the management of oily waste and by-products from vegetable oil extraction. Total trade in oil-cake and solid residues reached US$1.63 million in the same year, reflecting ongoing import activity.
