Asia
During Q1’26, rapeseed oil prices in China followed a firm trend. The prices were ~10.51 RMB/kg (Spot FD) in January and ~10.89 RMB/kg in March. Last quarter prices are ~2.98% higher compared to the previous quarter, while from January to March, prices increased by ~3.62%. The market remained supported by stable edible oil demand and downstream crushing activity. China also reduced the anti-dumping tariff on Canadian canola seed to 5.9% from 75.8% and removed the 100% tariff on Canadian canola meal, improving raw material availability and supporting import flows. In India, the prices were ~90.92 INR/kg (FOB) in January and ~88.16 INR/kg in March. Last quarter prices are ~0.88% lower compared to the previous quarter, while from January to March, prices decreased by ~3.04%. Sufficient edible oil inventories, cautious buying, and balanced domestic supply weakened sentiment despite steady food-sector demand.
Europe
During Q1’26, rapeseed oil prices in Europe remained balanced as improved regional rapeseed supply offset support from biodiesel demand. USDA projected EU rapeseed production at approximately 20.52 million metric tons for MY2025/26, supporting higher crushing activity and stable oil availability. Demand from biodiesel, food oils, and industrial applications remained consistent, while cautious purchasing and moderate industrial activity limited stronger upward movement.
North America
During Q1’26, rapeseed oil prices in North America showed balanced movement supported by stable export activity and biofuel demand. USDA estimated Canadian rapeseed production at about 22 million metric tons for MY2025/26, reinforcing North America’s position as a major supply source. However, higher inventories and sufficient oilseed availability limited stronger market momentum despite continued support from renewable fuel and edible oil demand.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, rapeseed oil prices are expected to remain stable to firm due to biodiesel demand and steady food-sector consumption, though ample global rapeseed supply may restrict sharper increases.

Asia
In China, rapeseed oil prices followed a broadly mixed trajectory throughout the second half of 2025. The prices were about 1342 USD/MT (Spot FD) in July and around 1391 USD/MT in December, which reflected an increase of approximately 3.6% over the period. Supply conditions remained well-supported through the third quarter, with domestic production and cumulative import volumes providing adequate coverage entering the fourth quarter. Prices firmed during the mid-period, driven by steady crushing activity and consistent demand from feed and processing enterprises. However, sentiment shifted in the latter part of the half as supply expectations improved materially. A record rapeseed harvest in Canada and anticipated arrivals of Australian rapeseed at domestic ports weighed on market confidence, pulling prices lower. The seasonal off-peak in oil consumption further softened demand, reinforcing a bearish tone by the close of the year. Meanwhile, in India, rapeseed oil prices maintained a clear downward bias across H2 2025. The prices were about 1085 USD/MT (FOB) in August and around 1055 USD/MT in December. Prices had reached multi-year highs earlier in the calendar year, which prompted the country to resume canola oil imports for the first time in several years, as overseas procurement became cost-effective. As import flows improved and domestic purchasing interest eased, prices declined steadily through the remainder of the period, reflecting gradual relief in supply tightness.
Europe
In H2’25, European rapeseed oil prices exhibited an oscillating pattern. Elevated crush rates and a sharp decline in import arrivals from Ukraine and Canada periodically tightened supply, pushing prices upward. However, these gains were repeatedly checked by improving production forecasts and shifting demand expectations. Regional stocks, while below the five-year seasonal average, provided an insufficient buffer to sustain a consistent upward trend. Biodiesel policy developments in Germany added further uncertainty, contributing to recurring swings in market sentiment across the period.
North America
Rapeseed and canola prices in North America traced a volatile, fluctuating path during H2 2025. Prices initially held at relatively supported levels with limited inventories and steady demand. However, a record domestic harvest drove periodic downward corrections, while intermittent export demand and biofuel policy discussions temporarily restored buying interest. The prolonged closure of the Chinese market to Canadian canola shipments kept export volumes constrained, limiting recovery phases. Uncertainty around U.S. biofuel support mechanisms contributed additional unpredictability, resulting in a series of gains and reversals rather than a clear directional trend through period-end.
Rapeseed, a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae, is cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed. Being a pure oil, Rapeseed Oil contains no protein or carbohydrates whereas it is a good source of healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins, namely vitamin E and K. It is a potent antioxidant that supports skin and eye health. Canada is the leading rapeseed oil producer, followed by Germany.

In order to extract the rapeseed oil, a process called cold pressing is carried out. Cold pressing is the conventional and straightforward method of producing oil, where the seed is pressed (or squeezed) at a low temperature to finally obtain the desired product.
