Earlier Report Observations

The Mexican rapeseed oilcake market opened the period at 584.6 thousand tons in 2018, supported by state-led initiatives to diversify oilseed production through contract farming schemes aimed at crops like sunflower. By 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a downturn in vegetable oil production across palm, soybean, and canola, which reduced the output of associated oilcakes; however, the overall market volume held relatively stable near 572 thousand tons as imports compensated for the domestic production dip.

Following the pandemic, market volume expanded sharply to 609.7 thousand tons in 2021. A severe contraction to 506.0 thousand tons occurred in 2022, a year when environmental regulations targeting used vegetable oil management were tightened to prevent water pollution, potentially affecting processing operations. The market rebounded to 545.3 thousand tons in 2023 alongside vibrant trade activity, with total merchandise turnover for oilseed cakes exceeding US$845 million, reflecting significant participation from national players.
