Earlier Report Observations

The Senegalese cottonseed oil-cake market began the period with relative stability, as volume held near 5 000 t in 2018 and 4 900 t in 2019. This was largely due to a 7% drop in domestic cottonseed production, which constrained the raw material supply for crushers. Concurrent supply chain issues, including leaks of cottonseed to Nigeria, meant only about one-third of processing units were actively operating, limiting overall output.

Market volume rose to 7 098 t in 2020, supported by the first significant imports of 598 t amid reported global supply chain disruptions. In 2021, a sector survey found 44 out of 53 crushing units were compliant with regulations, and a policy commitment for industrial refiners to purchase all crude oil from artisanal producers helped underpin demand. Imports jumped to 3 000 t that year, driving the total market to 8 500 t. However, by 2022, imports fell to zero, and the market contracted sharply to 5 100 t despite continued government communication campaigns to promote locally refined oil and maintained price controls for oil and cake.

The market rebounded strongly in 2023, reaching 8 458 t. This growth was entirely import-led, with purchases of 3 658 t offsetting a further decline in domestic production, which fell to 4 800 t.
