Rapeseed futures in Paris firmed after the USDA raised its global rapeseed production forecast in MY 2026/27, driven partly by improved crop prospects in Canada. Higher crude oil prices and Black Sea export restrictions provided additional support, pushing prices upward despite the record supply outlook.
Ukrainian crushers have largely covered rapeseed needs through October, reducing procurement pressure. Domestic prices are declining amid abundant supplies, with expected further softening despite stronger European futures.

During H1’26, the prices of Rapeseed were ~USD 935.54/MT in April and ~USD 938.00/MT In June showing a marginal increase in the Chinese markets. The rapeseed market in China remained supported during H1’26 as imported seed availability tightened significantly. USDA data showed that China’s rapeseed production was estimated at 16.92 million tonnes for 2025/26, helping partially offset lower imports. Trade conditions improved after China reduced tariffs on Canadian canola seed from March, leading to renewed purchases of Canadian cargoes and gradually easing supply concerns. In India, domestic rapeseed production was estimated at 11.9 million tonnes for 2025/26, supporting crushing activity and demand for rapeseed oil and meal.
In the United States, the prices of Rapeseed were ~USD 498.25/MT in April and ~USD 538.00/MT in June, showing a ~8% increase. North American conditions were influenced by Canadian canola markets, where large inventories limited early price gains. Canadian processors maintained strong activity, while renewed export demand supported market sentiment. However, larger planted acreage expectations created a more comfortable future supply outlook and limited further upside.

The global market for Rapeseed experienced downward price pressure during the fourth quarter, driven by substantial increases in worldwide production forecasts and weakening vegetable oil markets. Global production estimates reached record levels, rising significantly compared to the previous season, creating ample supply conditions that weighed heavily on pricing dynamics across major trading centres. Paris rapeseed futures declined progressively through the quarter, reaching near-year lows as the period concluded.
The Canadian canola market mirrored the downward trajectory, with prices falling substantially amid exceptionally low export rates. Shipment volumes during the early marketing year dropped considerably compared to the corresponding period from the previous season, reflecting reduced international demand and competitive pressures. The price differential between Canadian canola and European rapeseed widened significantly, creating additional downward pressure on European markets.
Falling crude oil prices and declining vegetable oil values further pressured rapeseed markets throughout the quarter. Policy uncertainties surrounding biofuel production support in major consuming regions contributed to weakness in soybean oil futures, which transmitted additional pressure to rapeseed oil prices. Ukrainian export activity declined progressively through the quarter due to infrastructure challenges and operational disruptions at port facilities, though domestic prices also weakened alongside global market trends.
In appearance, Rapeseed is a bright-yellow flowering member of the Brassicaceae family (mustard or cabbage family). It is cultivated primarily for its oil-rich seed, that is naturally composed of appreciable amounts of toxic erucic acid. Rapeseed is the 3rd-largest source of vegetable oil and the 2nd-largest source of protein meal in the world.
