From 2011 to 2020, Italy experienced fluctuating prices for oil-cake resulting from the extraction of soya-bean oil. Prices peaked in 2013 at €0.64/kg before decreasing steadily, hitting a low of €0.48/kg in 2017. A modest recovery ensued, stabilizing around €0.49/kg in 2019 and 2020. As of 2023, the trend maintained stability, staying close to the 2020 levels.
Year-on-year changes from 2018 to 2020 reflect minor volatility, with negligible percentage fluctuations. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reveals a slight downward trend, averaging a decrease in prices per year.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental policies on soya-bean production, evolving demand in feed and biofuels, and geopolitical influences on global trade. These factors may drive price volatility or stabilize markets depending on their interplay with Italian and global economic conditions.
