Earlier Report Observations

The CIS rapeseed market volume expanded from 2.565 million tonnes in 2018 to 5.436 million tonnes in 2022. This growth was initially supported by historically high cultivation areas in Russia and investments in new processing capacity, such as the construction of a rapeseed cultivation and processing plant in the Volga Federal District. From 2020, a sustained increase in sown area significantly boosted domestic production. The acceleration in 2022 was driven by the emergence of new demand from the biofuel sector, which consumed more rapeseed.

After peaking in 2022, the market volume contracted to 4.713 million tonnes in 2023. This decline followed a reduction in cultivated area in Russia and the imposition of a temporary export ban on rapeseed seeds from September 2023, which constrained available supply.
