The USDA predicts a global increase in oilseed production by 8% in MY 2022/23, primarily due to higher production of soybeans in South America and the USA, and rapeseed in Canada and the EU. This is expected to compensate for the decline in sunflower production in Ukraine and Russia. Global soybean consumption is projected to increase, while sunflower consumption will decrease. Global vegetable oil production and consumption are also expected to increase, due to rising production of soybean, rapeseed, and palm oil. Global ending stocks of vegetable oils are expected to increase, driven by rising soybean production and stocks in the US and South America.
