Rapeseed oil sales by German oil mills remained well below the figure from 12 months previously at the beginning of the crop year.
This stagnated around the turn of the year, but has since picked up the pace in the second half of the crop year.
According to the German Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE), German oil mills sold around 583,800 tonnes of rapeseed oil to the retail sector and commercial bottlers from July to April of the current crop year 2022/23. This was a 7% rise on the 2021/22 reference period and up 11% on 2020/21.
In the same period, 202,200 tonnes of rapeseed oil went to the food industry. This was, however, down 2% on the reference period.
According to investigations conducted by Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft, foreign trade in rapeseed oil from oil mills in Germany came up trumps.
The tonnage rose 13% to 303,800 tonnes compared to the same period a year earlier and as much as 29% compared to 2020/21.
Rapeseed oil sales reached around 108,200 tonnes in April, after peaking at 121,100 tonnes the previous month.
