Pakistan: Oilseeds and Products Annual

Domestic oilseed production is projected to experience a slight decline in 2026/27, due primarily to expected reductions in cottonseed and rapeseed output. Market demand for imported GE soybeans and rapeseed is expected to remain stable, with purchases of both oilseeds forecast to continue growing in 2026/27. Pakistan's relatively rapid population growth continues to increase consumption of edible oils and is anticipated to drive a further uptick in palm oil imports during 2026/27. However, the likelihood for a continued rise in energy prices has created uncertainties and will place pressure on the overall demand outlook for oilseeds in Pakistan for some time ahead.
