The USDA's May report outlines the balance sheet for vegetable oils for the 2023/24 marketing year, predicting an increase in the production and stocks of oils due to higher global production of soybeans, palm oil, and olive oil. The global oil production is anticipated to rise by 7.5% compared to the previous season, reaching 223.29 million tons. Notably, soybean oil production is expected to hit a record 62.47 million tons, while palm oil production will reach a record 79.56 million tons. However, sunflower oil production is projected to decrease to 20.93 million tons. Furthermore, the report discusses the impact of lower prices and export increases in palm oil, lower indicative prices for crude palm oil in Indonesia, and reduced base import prices for crude palm and soybean oil in India. Additionally, the report highlights a decrease in demand prices for sunflower oil due to an oversupply of cheap palm oil.
