Tridge summary

In the 2021/22 marketing year, German rapeseed oil exports saw a decrease for the first time after three consecutive years of increase, with a 22% drop to nearly 1.1 million tons. Despite the decline, the volume still surpassed that of the 2019/20 financial year by 13%. The Netherlands was the largest recipient, followed by Belgium, France, Denmark, and Poland. This decrease is attributed to increased domestic demand for biodiesel processing. The Union for the Promotion of Oil and Protein Plants (UFOP) expects a further decrease in the 2022/23 financial year due to changes in German greenhouse gas quota obligations. UFOP also suggests promoting sunflower cultivation to support biodiversity and regional crop rotations.
