Earlier Report Observations

Zimbabwe's groundnut oil market volume contracted from 10 100 t in 2018 to 7 900 t in 2021, representing a cumulative drop of over 20%. The decline was interrupted in 2022 when production and market size recovered to 8 700 t, a level maintained through 2023.

Throughout the period, peanut oil prices in Zimbabwe remained remarkably stable, hovering around $1.00 per kg from 2017 to 2024. This price consistency suggests an absence of major cost shocks or demand spikes that could have altered market dynamics significantly.

Regional trade patterns introduced competitive pressures, notably with Mozambique exporting palm oil to Zimbabwe. While groundnut oil imports were negligible, the inflow of alternative edible oils likely influenced consumer choices and market conditions for domestic producers.
