Earlier Report Observations

The rapeseed market in Western Asia showed significant movement between 2018 and 2023. Market volume grew steadily from 947 thousand tons in 2018 to 981 thousand tons in 2019, before surging sharply to 1 354 thousand tons in 2020.

This peak was primarily supported by a substantial increase in imports, which reached 1 261 thousand tons in 2020, offsetting lower domestic production that year. Following the 2020 high, market volume began a gradual decline, falling to 1 273 thousand tons in 2021, 1 243 thousand tons in 2022, and 1 170 thousand tons in 2023, as import volumes receded.

Domestic production fluctuated throughout the period, ranging from a high of 180 thousand tons in 2019 to a low of 120 thousand tons in 2023, while exports remained minimal and did not significantly influence overall market size.
