Earlier Report Observations
From 2018 to 2021, production and market volume of groundnut oil-cake in Congo grew steadily from 3 265 t to 3 611 t. This expansion was supported by stable peanut oil production in the region, notably in the Democratic Republic of Congo where output remained around 22 000 t with a slight 1.12% increase in 2021, which directly raised the supply of this processing by-product.
After a modest contraction to 3 501 t in 2022, the market volume surged by 13.5% to 3 975 t in 2023, fueled by the first significant imports of 463 t. The rising demand coincided with the active promotion in DRC of processing peanuts into derived products, including oil-cake, as a strategy for income diversification. Broader industry trends, such as growing consumer awareness of peanut oil's benefits and technological advances in extraction methods, also shaped the market landscape during this period.
Factors observed in 2024 included the deployment of modern, high-capacity oil extraction machines in Congo to improve local processing efficiency, alongside policy interventions in neighboring Senegal—such as temporary export suspensions and guaranteed purchase prices for producers—that aimed to secure raw materials for regional oil mills and influence supply conditions.
