Factors Affecting Crude Rapeseed Oil Prices
The price of crude rapeseed oil in Canada has been on the rise in recent years, due to a variety of factors. One major factor is the increasing demand for biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning fuel made from vegetable oils, like rapeseed oil. As more countries adopt stricter environmental regulations, the demand for biodiesel is expected to continue to grow.
Another factor that has contributed to rising crude rapeseed oil prices is the increasing cost of production. Rapeseed oil is a commodity crop, meaning that prices are largely determined by global supply and demand dynamics. When demand exceeds supply, prices tend to increase. Additionally, bad weather can lead to product shortages and price hikes. For example, droughts in key producing regions can damage crops and reduce yields.
