Earlier Report Observations

The Asian rapeseed market volume grew steadily from 32.1 million tonnes in 2018 to 41.0 million tonnes in 2023, despite a slight dip in 2019. The most significant expansion occurred in 2023, when volume jumped by 6.3 million tonnes.

In value terms, the market showed greater volatility. After declines in 2019 and 2020, its worth surged to 27.5 billion US dollars in 2022 before falling to 24.1 billion dollars in 2023, reflecting shifts in global rapeseed prices.

Key influences on the market include robust demand from the Asia-Pacific region driven by health trends and biofuel use, as well as policy changes like India's 2024 tariff-rate quota for refined rapeseed oil. Weather events and reduced EU production also shaped global supply conditions.
