Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the market volume for sunflower or safflower oil in Myanmar grew rapidly from 49 100 t to over 73 000 t, driven primarily by a sharp rise in imports which more than doubled during this period.

From 2021 onwards, the market entered a contraction phase, with volume falling to 54 000 t in 2021 and further to 43 000 t in 2022. This decline coincided with a significant 57% increase in import prices per ton in 2022, making imported oil more expensive. Additionally, a reset of the custom duty for crude oils until mid-2022 affected import costs and market access, contributing to the drop in imports.

In 2023, market volume stabilized around 42 000 t as domestic production reached 35 000 t. Import prices began to moderate, with an 11.8% decrease in the average import price recorded in 2024, easing cost pressures on the market.
