Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for soybean oil in the Netherlands showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. After a decline from 210 тыс. т in 2018 to a low of 124 тыс. т in 2021, consumption rebounded strongly, reaching 269 тыс. т in 2023. This recovery was fueled by a notable increase in imports, which rose to 143 тыс. т in 2023, while domestic production trended downward over the period, falling to 532 тыс. т.

In 2024, import volumes remained high at 146 тыс. т alongside an increase in exports to 431 тыс. т. Broader industry trends, including growing demand for soybean oil in biodiesel production driven by environmental policies and rising consumer preference for non-GMO and organic oils, provided support for sustained import activity into the Dutch market.
