Earlier Report Observations

The market for groundnut oil and fractions in Lebanon experienced significant volume fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. After reaching 5 243 t in 2018, the market contracted sharply to 3 814 t by 2020. A recovery phase began in 2021, with the market size growing steadily to 4 435 t in 2023, though it remained below the initial level.

The market expansion in 2023, with volume increasing by 3.2% to 4 435 t, was supported by rising consumer demand linked to growing awareness of the oil's perceived health benefits. This demand-side shift coincided with the increased availability of new groundnut oil extraction machinery and presses in Lebanon, which facilitated and supported local production capacity.
