Rapeseed prices on Euronext have experienced a significant drop of nearly €30/t, with the February 2025 contract falling by €7/t to €517.50/t and the May 2025 contract decreasing by €4/t to €506.25/t. This decline is attributed to increased competition from Canadian and Australian sources, a temporary halt in river traffic on the Moselle which eased quickly, and a sharp 10% loss in palm oil prices due to reduced demand in Asia. However, the sector has received a boost from Indonesia's decision to increase the biodiesel manufacture mandate from 35% to 40% from January, helping to mitigate the effects of these negative factors.
