Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, Denmark's production of non-chemically modified rapeseed oil remained stable, increasing slightly from 357.5 thousand tons to 365.1 thousand tons. Market volume fluctuated around 290 thousand tons during this period. This stability was underpinned by growing demand for non-chemically modified vegetable oils in food and industrial applications. Regional trade dynamics also played a role, with rising German exports to Denmark and a rebound after previous declines affecting import volumes, while Danish exports grew, strengthening the country's position as a regional supplier.

The market experienced volatility from 2021 to 2022. Production dropped to 284.7 thousand tons in 2021, pulling market volume down to 210.8 thousand tons, but recovered to 309.3 thousand tons in 2022, with market volume rising to 246.6 thousand tons. European policies mandating the incorporation of rapeseed oil in biofuels stimulated demand in the bioenergy sector. Additionally, global factors such as weather conditions affecting production in other European countries bolstered demand for Danish output. Strong export performance, including increased Norwegian imports from Denmark, further supported production.

In the following years, production and market volume continued to fluctuate. Production declined to 291.6 thousand tons in 2023, with market volume falling to 182.8 thousand tons, before rising to 307.3 thousand tons in 2024, as market volume reached 191.8 thousand tons. Price pressures due to limited stocks before the new harvest and sustained demand from EU biofuel mandates influenced market dynamics. Consumer preferences for sustainable and non-chemically modified products continued to shape production and marketing strategies.
