Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the European rapeseed oilcake market volume remained relatively stable, moving between 10 979 thousand tons and 11 110 thousand tons. The expansion of biodiesel production from rapeseed oil, noted in 2018, increased the supply of oilcake as a by-product. However, a drought-reduced European rapeseed harvest in 2019 temporarily constrained feedstock availability, leading to a slight market contraction.

From 2021, the market expanded significantly, reaching 12 746 thousand tons in 2022. This surge was primarily driven by strengthened EU biofuel blending mandates, which boosted demand for rapeseed in biodiesel production and consequently increased oilcake output. Concurrent industry modernization, integrating more efficient hybrid processing lines, further supported production growth. High global seed stocks in 2022 ensured ample supply. By 2023, the market stabilized at 12 675 thousand tons, supported by a satisfactory French rapeseed harvest and sustained indirect price influences from robust Chinese demand for oilseeds.
