Record high oilseed stocks are forecast for the 2024/25 marketing year, driven by a 4% increase in global oilseed production to a new high of 687 million tonnes. This growth is led by increased soybean production in South America and the United States, with global soybean production projected to rise by over 6%. Global canola and sunflower production is also expected to see a slight increase, while global copra production is projected to decline. Global oilseed consumption is projected to grow by 3%, driven by soybeans, with China, the United States, and Argentina increasing crushing volumes. Global trade in oilseeds is forecast to grow by 4%, with demand for soybeans and canola rising to offset lower sunflower imports. Global ending stocks of oilseeds are expected to rise 13% to a record high as global production outpaces demand.
