  • Does Botswana import vegetables from neighbouring countries?
  • Botswana currently imports substantial quantities of vegetables from neighbouring countries amounting to millions of Pula annually. This is partly owing to the fact that the necessary information on vegetable production locally is not readily available to assist producers in their production.
  • Which countries produce vegetable oil?
  • China, the European Union, Canada, and Ukraine each produce between 20 to 32 Mt. The vegetable oil aggregate in this OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook includes oil obtained from the crushing of oilseeds (about 55% of world vegetable oil production) and palm oil (36%), as well as palm kernel, coconut and cottonseed oils ( Figure 4.1 ).
  • Which countries export the most vegetable oil?
  • Of all agricultural commodities, vegetable oil has one of the highest trade shares (41%) of production. Indonesia and Malaysia, the world’s leading suppliers of palm oil, will continue to dominate the vegetable oil trade, exporting over 70% of their combined production and jointly accounting for nearly 60% of global exports.
  • What is the outlook for global vegetable oil production compared to soybeans?
  • Global crush of other oilseeds as compared to soybeans is expected to grow in line with production by 21 Mt over the outlook period and to occur more often in the producing country. Global vegetable oil production depends on both the crush of oilseeds and the production of perennial tropical oil plants, especially palm oil.
