Earlier Report Observations

The U.S. cottonseed oil-cake market contracted from 628 тыс. т in 2018 to 508 тыс. т in 2020, then partially recovered to 578 тыс. т in 2021.

Drought conditions in 2022 reduced U.S. cotton production, limiting cottonseed supply for oil extraction and causing market volume to drop to 500 тыс. т. In 2023, volume saw a modest decline to 489 тыс. т as supply chain challenges continued, but demand for protein-rich animal feed derived from cottonseed cake helped stabilize the market.
