Feedstock Shortages Will Limit Biodiesel Production in 2024/25
The growth in biodiesel production and consequently also in the required feedstock volumes has become unsustainable of late. In 2024/25 the discrepancy between ambitious national biofuel targets and tightening feedstock supplies is seen widening. This dilemma can probably be solved only by a proactive downward adjustment of admixture mandates and/or an underfulfillment of them via market forces...
Admixture targets can probably not be fulfilled in the USA, Indonesia and Brazil. Growth in world production of biodiesel/HVO in 2025 will be curbed below the increase of 4.1 Mn T shaping up this year....Latest OIL WORLD estimates in the Weekly of Oct 11...

Production Deficit Developing in 2024/25
World production of 17 oils and fats is tentatively estimated at 263.4 Mn T in Oct/Sept 2024/25. This implies a year-on-year increase of only 2.9 Mn T, reflecting a significant slowdown from the preceding two seasons....Furthermore, the current season starts with the burden of total stocks of oils and fats being an estimated 1.3 Mn T lower than a year ago as of early October 2024, reflecting sizable reductions primarily in India and Malaysia....

Ample Soybean Supplies Contrast with Tightness in Sunseed & Rapeseed
World supplies of soybeans are ample and currently estimated to rise sharply by 38 Mn T from a year earlier to almost 530 Mn T in 2024/25, with opening stocks up 10 and production up 28 Mn T ...
Combined world production of sunflower and rapeseed oils is currently estimated to decline by 3.7 Mn T on the year in Oct/Sept 2024/25. Despite the prospective ample world soybean supplies, soybean crushings cannot be raised sufficiently to offset the production losses in these two vegetable oils....

Shortage of Rapeseed & Sunseed Likely to Curb EU Oilseed Crushings in 2024/25
EU rapeseed crushings are forecast to decline by at least 1.3-1.4 Mn T in July/June 2024/25, with most of the required rationing likely to occur in Jan/June 2025. This year’s crop failure in the Black Sea region has slashed sunflowerseed supplies for EU crushers in 2024/25. We tentatively forecast EU sunseed crushings to decline by ...Mn T in July/June 2024/25, widening the setback of the two softseeds to ....
This contrasts with ample world soybean supplies, which is likely to raise EU soybean crushings in July/June 2024/25....
