• Logistical constraints in Russia and Ukraine and insufficient crush capacity elsewhere will curb sunflowerseed crushings and result in record global stocks of 9 Mn T at the end of this season. 

• The rapeseed crush is seen rising globally but may partly be limited by geopolitical hurdles, e.g. in Russia and the UAE.

• Consumption of veg. oils is seen growing much stronger than production, possibly widening the production deficit to approximately 2 Mn T in 2026/27.

•  Record soybean crushings boosted G-3 soya meal exports to a new high of 73.8 Mn T in Oct/Sept 2025/26, up 4.1 Mn T from a year earlier and vs. the five-year average of 60.8 Mn T.

• Oilseed crushings will continue to rise sharply in the fourth consecutive year in 2026/27 to satisfy product demand. The prospective decline in world production and export supplies of palm oil will raise global dependence on seed oils.

• We currently project world rapeseed production to reach a new high of 87.3 Mn T this season, up 1.1 Mn T from a year earlier, still depending on weather conditions in coming weeks.

• Price pressure on linseed from abundant supplies in Russia and Kazakhstan.

•  World production of 17 oils and fats is currently forecast to increase by only 3.5 Mn T in Oct/Sept 2026/27, a 6-year low. This contrasts with the strength of demand from the energy sector.

• There is potential for an increase of global sunflower oil exports by 1.9 Mn T in Oct/Sept 2026/27 if the logistical problems are solved. 

• We estimate world exports of palm oil at only 47.8 Mn T in 2026/27, down 2.6 Mn T and almost exclusively on account of Indonesia.

• In the 7 seasons up to 2026/27, the world area of soybeans, sunseed and rapeseed has increased by an estimated 41.6 Mn ha - almost three times the expansion of 14.1 Mn ha seen in the preceding seven years ...

• Strong acreage expansion in Canada, Russia and S. America is seen more than offsetting the partial setback of yields, setting the stage for a further increase in world production of rapeseed to a record 87.5 Mn T in 2026/27 ...

• World production of the eight major veg. oils is expected to increase by only 1.7% next season, attributable to the prospective decline in palm oil that can be compensated only partly by seed oils ...

• Global veg. oil exports are pegged at a record 95.1 Mn T in Oct/Sept 2025/26, up 2.0 Mn T on the year, thereof palm oil +1.2 Mn T and rapeseed oil + 0.7 Mn T ...

•  Rising soya meal prices have contributed to deteriorating livestock feeding profitability, probably curbing the growth of protein usage in the EU-27 and elsewhere...
