Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the New Zealand linseed oil-cake market saw its volume grow from 1 169 t to 1 449 t, though not without a significant dip in 2020. A change in the foreign trade data classification to HS2017 from the start of 2017 affected time-series analysis for this period, particularly for trade flows. The market's dynamics were closely tied to domestic production, which mirrored these movements, as imports and exports remained minimal.

Fluctuations in the import price of linseed oil, a related product, influenced the production economics for oil-cake. For instance, the sharp rise in the import price of linseed oil to US$8.26 per kg in 2020 coincided with a notable drop in oil-cake output to 953 t, potentially reflecting reduced local oil extraction activity. Conversely, the period of recovery and growth from 2021 onward occurred as import prices for linseed oil first peaked and then fell sharply to US$5.83 per kg by 2022, a cost environment that may have supported expanded domestic processing and greater oil-cake supply.

The market's strong expansion in 2022 and 2023, with production reaching 1 238 t and 1 450 t respectively, took place alongside lower linseed oil import costs. This period solidified a clear upward trend in market volume, following the earlier contraction.
