Market Report on China’s Vegetable Oil Industry, 2008

Nov. 4, 2008 - PRLog -- Summary of the report
In 2007, the gross output value of edible vegetable oil industry was about 318.6 billion RMB Yuan (about 43.6 billion USD), and sales value reached 317.8 billion RMB Yuan (about 43.5 billion USD). The production added up to 231.85 million tons. The export volume of edible rapeseed was 1.271 million tons in 2007, increased by 4.7% as compared with 2006, while the import volume reached 318.58 million tons, increased by 8.8%. Soybean export volume was 0.475 million tons, increased by 20.2%, and the import volume stayed at 30.821 million tons, increased by 9%. The export volume of edible vegetable oil was 0.168 million tons, decreased by 58.1% as compared with 2006, and the import volume reached 8.397 million tons, increased by 25%.

The gross output value of edible vegetable oil in China reached 11.5 million tons in the former half of 2008. China is short of vegetable oil and has a strong demand. In 2007, China's vegetable oil market grew rapidly with 9.015 million tons domestic oil raw material. The domestic consumption of vegetable oil reached 23 million tons. Currently, China's vegetable oil production still can not meet domestic consumers' demands. So one third of vegetable oil is imported from other countries with total value reaches 4-5 billion USD. It is estimated that the per capita vegetable oil consumption will be increased at a growth rate of 3% per year in the coming years, which indicates that potential market is very tremendous in China.

China's total consumption volume of vegetable oil again hit the record high in 2007. The personal consumption and industry consumption both reached the highest level in history. The growth rate of China's vegetable oil market fluctuates obviously, and it will fluctuate more fiercely in the coming years.

In 2007, China imported vegetable oil with a total mount of 8.38 million tons. The fact that the import volume of 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively was far beyond other years can be seen in the data of import volume from 1997 to 2006.
