The global Oils & Fats market has continued to grow apace, as world population has risen and demand has increased thanks to the development of new applications – in particular bio-diesel. The rise of palm oil as the dominant source of vegetable oils has been rapid, replacing soy in the last 10 years as the key source of vegetable oils. With this has come the rise of oil producers in Asia, based on the palm oil regions of Malaysia and Indonesia. These show the supply expansion that has been driven rapidly by Asia.

The global Oils & Fats market has continued to grow apace, as
world population has risen and demand has increased thanks to the
development of new applications – in particular bio-diesel. The rise of palm
oil as the dominant source of vegetable oils has been rapid, replacing soy in
the last 10 years as the key source of vegetable oils. With this has come the
rise of oil producers in Asia, based on the palm oil regions of Malaysia and
Indonesia. These show the supply expansion that has been driven rapidly by
Asia.

At the same time, developed nations have been analysing the oils they consume and are becoming more
concerned with the role of processed oils and fats in health, leading to the drive to eliminate certain types of
processed oils from food products, with animal fats probably suffering the most. The expansion of palm as the major
source of vegetable oils has also created a concern about the role of palm oil cultivation in tropical de-forestation and
wild habitat destruction leading to the movements associated with sustainable palm plantation management. The GM
issue is still alive and emotional statements in Europe about soy and maize (irrespective of science) are helping other
oils, such as sunflower and rapeseed/colza, to help add value to the food sector.

3. GIRACT Introduction
Geneva, Switzerland
Highlighting the specific properties of oils claimed to be beneficial to health (e.g. polyunsaturated; omega 3,6,9; vitamins A &
E (tocopherol)) as well as fortification of oils, for example to compensate for low levels of Vitamin A consumption in certain
parts of the world, are positive ways of adding value. These segments have been reasonably buoyant both in developed and
developing countries in the recent past. Food safety issues along with early questions on areas such as trans-fat are also
shaping the markets in China and India.
Thus, the report will to bring the story up to date for the development of these oils whilst examining these issues in the
context of the supply and demand dynamics across the world.
