Earlier Report Observations

The cottonseed oil-cake market in SADC showed significant volatility from 2018 to 2023. After reaching 149 thousand tons in 2019, market volume contracted sharply to 101.5 thousand tons in 2021, followed by a robust recovery to 167.2 thousand tons by 2023.

The market's expansion in 2023 coincided with a regional increase in demand for affordable and nutritious livestock feed, a trend highlighted by rapid import growth in SADC members like Togo. Supportive government policies focusing on food security and agricultural productivity further bolstered domestic consumption.

Established regional processors, including Ashok Udyog Oil Mill, provided production capacity that aligned with this rising consumption, reinforcing cottonseed oil-cake's role as a key feed ingredient in the SADC agricultural sector.
