Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market volume for rapeseed, colza or mustard oil and fractions in Southern Europe expanded from 268.5 thousand tons to 346.7 thousand tons. This growth was not linear, with a notable contraction in 2020 to 252.6 thousand tons followed by a steady recovery and acceleration in the following years.

Domestic production more than doubled over the period, reaching 278.0 thousand tons in 2023. Trade flows were volatile: imports dipped to a low of 106.8 thousand tons in 2020 before rebounding, while exports saw significant swings, peaking at 150.4 thousand tons in 2023.

In 2024, imports surged to 296.4 thousand tons as exports fell sharply. This shift coincided with global maritime logistics disruptions in the Red Sea, which affected vegetable oil supply chains, and sustained demand from the biofuel sector driven by supportive policies in the region.
