Under the interim government in Bangladesh since August 2024, macroeconomic stability is improving, easing import restrictions and supporting export growth. The oilseed sector, particularly soybean and rapeseed, is expanding to meet increasing demand from animal feed and aquaculture industries. For the marketing year 2025/26, soybean production is expected to reach 1.6 million MT, up from 1.5 million MT, driven by higher cultivation area and supportive government initiatives. Rapeseed/mustard production is forecast at 1.45 million MT, an increase from last year's estimates. Trade highlights include rising imports of soybeans and soybean meal, with Brazil, Argentina, and the US as key sources, and continued exports of rapeseed oil.

The poultry, livestock, and aquaculture sectors are growing, with feed consumption projected at 7.5 million MT, boosting demand for oilseed-based feeds. Soybean crushing is expected to rise to 2.4 million MT, supporting feed production. Edible oil imports remain significant, with palm oil and soybean oil dominating consumption. Prices for soybean and edible oils are volatile, influenced by global markets and domestic policies. Government efforts focus on reducing import dependency through increased domestic production and research into high-yielding varieties.

Overall, Bangladesh's oilseed and product industries are poised for growth, but challenges like limited high-quality seeds and inconsistent yields persist. Stocks and trade balances are closely monitored, with end-of-year projections indicating stable or slight increases in production and imports across most categories.
