Research Background

In the official issue Items on Oilseeds Production and Development Promotion released by State Department in Sep, 2007, key issues, such as oilseeds production recovery and fully market supply are required to maintain a stable edible oil market, satisfy customers' demand, increase farmers' income and promote economy development.

The central government has taken a series of specific measure to control and adjust oilseeds and edible oil market, but which yield no distinct effect. At present, edible oil price still maintain historical level. How will government measures affect oilseeds and edible oil industry? And what will be the future trend under the implementation of these measures?

Under the shortage of international edible oil background, 2007 witnessed a general oilseed reduction, while edible oil market maintained a strong demand. China oilseed market entered a tight supply situation, leading edible price hitting historical level. Edible oil is the necessity to urban and rural residents, and what kinds of measures will be taken to stabilize the future market?

Edible Oil processing industry gained a lot of profit this year affected by the surging edible oil price. How will oilseed production recover in the future under the influence of enhanced adjustment? Whether the tight supply situation will be relieved? How will oil processing industry gain profit?

This report will make an in-depth analysis on 2008 China oilseeds and edible oil market under the background of 2007 China market policies & trend and national economy and policy reform, etc, as to provide reference for insiders in China oilseeds and edible oil industry.
