Earlier Report Observations

The rapeseed oilcake market in Northern Africa reached 108 300 metric tons in 2018, driven by imports of 95 293 metric tons. Global market conditions, including record rapeseed production in Canada, boosted worldwide supply and supported import availability for the region.

Market volume then oscillated, falling to 92 618 metric tons in 2019, rebounding to 104 406 metric tons in 2020, and declining to 88 688 metric tons in 2021. A drastic reduction to 40 381 metric tons occurred in 2022 when the war in Ukraine disrupted global oilseed supply chains, severely curtailing imports into Northern Africa.

In 2023, the market recovered partially to 63 942 metric tons as import flows from Canada and the European Union increased, easing the previous year's shortage despite continued logistical challenges from Ukrainian rapeseed affecting European markets.
