In 2024, rapeseed oil imports in Japan are forecasted to stabilize at 21 thousand metric tons, reflecting a steady continuation from 2023 levels. The projection through 2025 maintains this figure, indicating no year-on-year growth. From 2026, a slight increase to 22 thousand metric tons is predicted, holding steady until 2028. This indicates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.94% from 2024 to 2028, demonstrating a modest upward trend over this forecast period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in global rapeseed supply due to climate impacts or geopolitical factors.
Changes in Japan's dietary trends and preferences influencing demand for rapeseed oil.
Government policies on import tariffs and support for local oilseed production could affect import volumes.
