The USDA has raised its forecasts for the world's harvest of major oilseeds and the output of their processed products for the 2023-24 agricultural year. The estimates for agricultural crops like soybeans, rapeseed, sunflower, and cotton have been increased due to factors such as resistance to adverse weather conditions, good yield indicators, and favorable agro-climatic conditions. The forecast for vegetable oils also increased, with noticeable increases in rapeseed oil and soybean oil production, while sunflower oil and palm oil saw smaller increases.
