Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for sunflower, safflower, and cottonseed oil in South-eastern Asia showed considerable movement between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 179.7 thousand tonnes in 2018, it increased to 234.4 thousand tonnes in 2019. The market then stabilized near 233.8 thousand tonnes in 2020 before declining to 199.1 thousand tonnes in 2021. A recovery to 215.4 thousand tonnes followed in 2022, but in 2023 the market volume contracted sharply to 123.4 thousand tonnes.

In 2024, market dynamics were shaped by global factors. Supply chain disruptions and the Russia-Ukraine conflict led to shortages of sunflower oil, impacting regional availability and prices. Concurrently, demand was supported by sunflower oil's lower cost compared to other vegetable oils and its expanding use as a feedstock in the biofuel industry.
