Growing demand for organic oil extracted from organic oilseeds and their products are driving the organic oilseeds farming market.The increase in awareness about the harmful effects of conventionally produced oil on an individual’s health as well as on the environment is making individuals prefer the oil produced from organic oilseeds.

The demand is not only for edible purposes but also to produce greener cosmetics.The by-products produced after the extraction from organic oilseeds are used as a high protein organic feed for animals reared through the organic way.

For instance, in June 2019, five farmers of Scotland, with support from Scotland’s Rural Innovation Support Service (RISS) has launched a pilot project along with a feed processor to grow the first organic oilseed rape crop in the UK to meet the demand for organic protein feed for pigs.Trillium Organics is offering USDA certified organic skin care products made from organically produced ingredients.

Their organic body oil is made with olive, jojoba, and sunflower oils. Therefore, the growing demand for organic oil extracted from organic oilseeds and their by-products drives the organic oilseed farming market.

The mechanical weed management method is gaining traction in the organic oilseed farming market.The most common problem associated with organic oilseeds is the growth of weeds that destroy the crop.

To remove weeds non-chemically, Vytautas Magnus University Agriculture Academy conducted a field experiment and has inferred that thermal and mechanical weed control alongside the bio-preparations in droughty years significantly reduced the number of weed seedlings in the growing seasons, namely autumn and spring.

The countries covered in the organic oilseed farming market are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, and USA.
