Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the linseed oil-cake market in Northern Africa contracted from over 13 600 t to around 11 400 t. The most significant drop occurred in 2019, when market volume fell by 20% to 10 870 t, following a sharp decline in domestic production.

After 2019, local production stabilized between 10 300 t and 10 900 t, with a minor dip in 2022 before recovering to 11 411 t in 2023. During this period, global interest in linseed cake grew due to its high nutritional value for animal feed and its use in methanization for renewable energy production, though these trends did not directly reverse the regional market's earlier contraction.
