Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the linseed oil market in Nepal contracted from 4 136 tonnes to 3 160 tonnes. The decline in 2020 was largely a consequence of global supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which impeded the import of oil products into the heavily import-reliant country.

A recovery followed in 2021, with market volume rising to 3 684 tonnes. This growth aligned with sustained consumer demand for organic and natural food products, including cold-pressed linseed oil offered by companies like Raw Origin. The market then stabilized around 3 500 to 3 600 tonnes in 2022 and 2023.

The state-owned Nepal Oil Corporation maintained its central role in the import and distribution of petroleum products throughout the period, providing a consistent supply framework. Meanwhile, major integrated refineries such as Ganapati Vanaspati Ltd operated with advanced technology, influencing the edible oil sector's overall structure.
