Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for sunflower-seed oilcake in Myanmar showed pronounced swings from 2018 to 2023. It jumped to a high of 98 546 t in 2019, largely due to a spike in imports that exceeded 25 000 t. Over the next three years, the market shrank steadily, reaching a low of 81 082 t in 2022 as import volumes collapsed.

A clear recovery took place in 2023, with the market volume rising to 87 711 t. This growth was powered by a rebound in imports, which more than tripled to 7 711 t. The increase in purchased volumes aligned with a drop in global prices following their peak in 2022, which improved affordability for importers.
