Earlier Report Observations
The market volume for sunflower and safflower oil in Indonesia showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. After an initial decline to 11 689 t in 2019, consumption jumped to over 15 000 t in 2020, followed by a sharp contraction to around 10 700 t in 2021. The market then entered a phase of stabilization, with volumes remaining near 10 500 t in 2022 and 2023.
Throughout this period, the domestic industry for these oils remained in early development. Research published in 2023 focused on optimizing sunflower seed oil extraction through experimental methods, highlighting a drive to improve production efficiency and oil yield by fine-tuning process factors.
By 2025, the sector was still nascent with no major new production facilities or specific regulatory shifts reported. The market continued to operate within a landscape dominated by palm oil, which holds significantly higher productivity and land efficiency in Indonesia, influencing overall vegetable oil dynamics.
