Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for sunflower, safflower, or cottonseed oil in Niger showed considerable fluctuation from 2018 to 2023. After an initial decline from 912 tonnes to 828 tonnes in 2019, the market recovered to 915 tonnes in 2020 and then surged by over 58% to 1 449 tonnes in 2021. This peak was followed by a drop to 1 036 tonnes in 2022 and a subsequent rise to 1 305 tonnes in 2023. Underlying this volatility was a stark shift in supply sources: domestic production fell from 888 tonnes to just 388 tonnes, while imports expanded dramatically from 24 tonnes to 917 tonnes, becoming the dominant component of market volume.

By 2024, with imports recorded at 723 tonnes, the market continued to be influenced by external factors. Global sunflower oil availability was constrained by drought in Ukraine and ongoing war, disrupting exports and affecting prices. Concurrently, international and regional trading companies established supply chains, importing oil from European sources to meet demand in Niger's food, feed, and industrial sectors, underscored by requirements for regulatory compliance and traceability. Growing worldwide consumer preference for healthy vegetable oils further supported import demand.
