Edition September 2025

Oilseeds

+++ Trading on the rapeseed market was slow, focussing on the settlement of existing contracts. +++ The 2025 rapeseed harvest was nearly complete with large variations in yield between regions; rapeseed sowing began concurrently. +++ US soybean prices trended upward, driven by expectations of rising demand from the US biofuels industry for soybean oil. +++

Oilseed meals and oilcakes


+++ Rapeseed meal decreased significantly in value; regional supply was mixed. +++ Soybean meal lacked clear price direction. +++

Vegetable oils

+++ Rapeseed oil prices rose well above the previous month, following some fluctuations, while demand did not pick up until month-end. +++ Palm oil recorded further gains, supported by brisk Malaysian exports. +++

Fuels


+++ The biodiesel market remained seasonally calm. +++ Crude oil prices slumped, weakened by geopolitical risks and expectations of excess supply. +++
