United Kingdom: Oilseeds and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   UK2024-0015
MY 2023/24 saw rather disappointing yields for the UK rapeseed oilseed crop overall. In MY 2024/25 rapeseed production is forecast even lower at 900 thousand metric tons (MT) due to a combination of poor growing conditions, a sharp fall in the price of rapeseed, pest pressure and the increased attractiveness of agri-environment options. In MY 2024/25 imports of rapeseed oilseeds are forecast partly to fill the gap created by low domestic rapeseed production, with pressure also eased by lower expected demand from the livestock/dairy sectors.
