In 2023, the sunflowerseed oil processing in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was at 31.0 thousand metric tons. The forecast for 2024 indicates a stable processing level of 31.0 thousand metric tons, followed by a slight decrease to 30.0 thousand metric tons from 2025 to 2028. This suggests a stabilization after a minor decline from 2024 to 2025, remaining consistent thereafter. There are no discernible variations over the past two years, with the overall trend being stable in the medium-term outlook.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in processing methods, changes in consumer preferences towards plant-based oils, and the impact of trade policies and agricultural developments on sunflowerseed supply and prices. Monitoring shifts in global demand and environmental policies will also be crucial for future forecasting.
