How Oil Seeds Are Shaping Global Agricultural Trade

As the name itself suggests, oil seeds are seeds used to extract oil. They are a vital source of vegetable oils for various purposes, such as food, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Moreover, oil seeds are also an important component of animal feed. The defatted oil seed meals serve as a valuable source of protein for livestock. Oil seeds have a long, rich history linked to human civilization and agriculture. Mention of some oil seeds (like rapeseed and sesame) can be found in ancient Indian Sanskrit writing dating back to around 2000 BC. In fact, sunflower seeds were cultivated and used as early as 3000 BC in regions of present-day Arizona and New Mexico. Today, more than 200 types of oil seeds are cultivated worldwide, contributing significantly to global agricultural trade, the economy, and food security.



Why Global Oil Seeds Buyers Are Actively Sourcing 

With the rising demand for plant-based oils and increasing health awareness, international markets are actively sourcing high-quality oil seeds from reliable suppliers and exporters. Oil seeds serve as the raw material for multiple high-demand products, including edible oils, cold-pressed oils, cosmetic oils, biofuels, and animal feed. Soybeans and rapeseed are primarily used to produce biodiesel, a renewable fuel alternative to fossil fuels. Besides, oil seeds have industrial applications as well, especially in paints, lubricants, varnishes, and other products.

The growing popularity of plant-based diets, sustainable biofuel alternatives, and clean-label cosmetics is expanding the market for natural seed oils globally. In addition, innovations in farm practices, input quality, post-harvest technologies, and oil seed extraction (like Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction and Green Solvent Extraction) are also responsible for the growth of oilseed production and demand. Countries like the United States, Brazil, China, Nigeria, Argentina, and India are major players in oil seed production, accounting for a large percentage of the total output. 


Oil Seeds in India

  • Did you know that India is the fourth-largest oil seeds producer in the world, accounting for 20.8% of the total area under oil seed cultivation globally? The country contributes 10% of global production, majorly producing groundnut, soybean, sunflower, sesame, niger seed, mustard, and safflower (Source: Indian Trade Portal). India is known as the “queen of oil seeds” for castor, and it is a major player in sesame and cottonseed.

  • As a matter of fact, the diverse climatic condition of India allows for the cultivation of 9 different oilseeds, which include 7 edible and 2 non-edible varieties. The Yellow Revolution in India (launched in 1986) further increased the production of edible oil seeds, especially mustard, sesame, and groundnut. 

  • India's total oilseeds production was recorded at 396.69 lakh tonnes in the year 2024. The major oilseed-producing states are Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana (Source: India Brand Equity Foundation).

  • India is also an important exporter of oilseed products. In the year 2022–23, the country exported approximately 3.46 million tonnes of oil meals, oilseeds, and minor oils, valued at ?14,609 crore (Source: Export Import Data). Exports have continued to increase in subsequent years. 

  • Indian oilseeds are primarily exported to the USA, UAE, Netherlands, China, Singapore, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Italy, and Nepal. This presents a valuable opportunity for Indian suppliers and exporters to connect with and meet the demands of seeds oil buyers.
