Earlier Report Observations

The sunflower-seed oilcake market in Eastern Asia expanded rapidly from 2018 to 2023, with volume growing from 745 thousand tonnes to 3 396 thousand tonnes. This near-fivefold increase was primarily driven by a surge in imports, which rose from 403 thousand tonnes to 2 939 thousand tonnes, while domestic production saw a more modest rise from 360 to 461 thousand tonnes.

In value terms, the market grew even more sharply, from 242 million US dollars to 1 410 million US dollars. The steeper rise in market value compared to volume suggests increasing unit prices or a shift toward higher-value product segments, as the value of imports escalated from 112 million to 1 157 million US dollars.

Developments noted by 2024 included strengthened grain and oilseed reserve management in China, new industrial projects to recycle waste oils, and shifts in global vegetable oil trade patterns that affected sunflower oil supply chains. These factors emerged as the market entered a phase where import growth moderated, with import volume dipping to 2 529 thousand tonnes in 2024.
