The forecast for cottonseed oil production in China indicates a gradual decline from 1.09 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.0 million metric tons by 2028. Compared to a 2023 production level of 1.1 million metric tons, this shows a downward trend. From 2024 to 2025, production decreases by 1.8%, continuing with a similar rate of reduction each subsequent year. Over the five-year period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects an average annual decrease of approximately 2%.
Future trends to watch for include fluctuations in cotton output, changes in domestic and international demand, evolving agricultural policies, and environmental factors impacting cotton cultivation, which could influence the long-term availability and cost of cottonseed oil.
