Earlier Report Observations

The Mexican sunflower-seed oilcake market saw production begin at 19 600 t in 2018, a level supported by state agricultural secretariates promoting sunflower as an alternative crop in regions with productivity and phytosanitary issues, which boosted cultivation for oil extraction. Output then fell for two consecutive years, dropping to 13 900 t by 2020, a year in which Mexico City's environment authority commissioned a plant to convert waste cooking oil into bio-additives, emphasizing the focus on used oil valorization.

A steady recovery unfolded from 2021, with production reaching 16 400 t that year and climbing to 18 600 t in 2022. This growth was primarily driven by global regulations phasing out trans fats in foods, which increased demand for high-oleic sunflower oil from multinational companies and encouraged domestic cultivation. Concurrently, processors adopted more efficient oil extraction methods combining mechanical pressing and solvent use, maximizing yield and directly raising oilcake output. Production continued to rise, reaching 19 900 t in 2023.

In 2024, Guanajuato was reported as the leading state for international sales in related oilseed residue categories, and research into formulating industrial lubricants from sunflower seeds highlighted ongoing efforts to develop sustainable, non-food applications for the crop.
