European Union: Oilseeds and Products Annual

Marketing Year (MY) 2026/27 European Union oilseed production is forecast to increase, mainly due to high rapeseed and sunflower production. This follows very high oilseed production in MY 2025/26, especially for rapeseed. MY 2026/27 oilseed imports are expected to decrease due to higher availability of sunflower and rapeseed. Rapeseed and sunflower meal are expected to increase in feed mixtures, while less soybean and palm kernel meal are used due to anticipated EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance costs. Higher oil production is expected in MY 2026/27 due to an increase in overall crush, facilitating higher exports.
