Earlier Report Observations

The Swiss linseed oil-cake market volume grew consistently from 1 791 tonnes in 2018 to a peak of 2 613 tonnes in 2021, representing an overall increase of 46% over three years. This expansion was primarily driven by rising domestic production, which increased from 1 400 tonnes to 2 100 tonnes over the same period.

Import volumes played a complementary but volatile role, surging to 529 tonnes in 2019 before contracting sharply in 2020. Imports recovered to 513 tonnes in 2021, supporting the market's peak volume, but fell again in 2022. The interplay between growing local output and fluctuating imports shaped the market's supply dynamics during these years.

After 2021, the market entered a phase of stabilization. Total volume eased to 2 496 tonnes in 2022 and remained flat at 2 483 tonnes in 2023, as production plateaued and import levels varied.
