In March 2025, Australia witnessed a significant surge in its rapeseed exports, with a 74% increase compared to March 2024, reaching a record high of 907 thousand tons. The European Union (EU) played a pivotal role in this growth, experiencing a nearly threefold rise in imports of Australian rapeseed, while Japan and Bangladesh saw a decrease in imports. Mexico's imports came to a complete halt. The first quarter of 2025 saw a 30% increase in Australia's rapeseed exports year-over-year, with the EU accounting for 76% of these exports. The overall overseas delivery of rapeseed from Australia from October 2024 to March 2025 was 3.7 million tonnes, an increase from the previous season's 3.22 million tonnes. However, experts caution that this early growth in exports could potentially limit deliveries until September, as the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics anticipates a rapeseed harvest of 6.45 million tonnes for the season.
