In August, the country reduced imports of edible oils by 17% compared to July, to 1.53 million tons.
On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, futures for soybean oil in December saw a growth of 6.2% over the past week to 912 $/ton (+2.5% for the month).

According to the forecast of the Oil World company (Germany), in the 2024/25 financial year, global sunflower oil exports will decrease from 16.02 to 13.91 million tons compared to the previous season, leading to an increase in prices and premiums for sunflower oil compared to palm and soybean oils.
