Oil & Fat Production in France industry analysis

Amid soaring cooking oil prices fuelled by inflationary pressures and geopolitical disruptions, oil and fat processors have experienced substantial revenue growth in recent years. However, the surge in costs for oilseeds has squeezed profitability. Price turbulence has mostly been the result of the Russia-Ukraine war, with Ukraine being the largest producer of sunflowers and sunflower oil in the world at 30% of total production, according to the USDA. Overall, industry revenue is projected to climb at a compound annual rate of 12.3% over the five years through 2025, despite an 8.2% drop in 2025 to €14.4 billion. Prices are finally slowing in 2025, causing an extended contraction in revenue, as global oilseed supplies stabilise.
