Production of vegetable oils in 2017/18 is projected at 195 MMT. Although the EU produces over 33 MMT tons of oilseeds (rapeseed, soybeans, sunflower) they must import additional supplies to meet their needs.Data for the production and imports of oilseeds and plant oils in the EU nations are shown in table , covering the period 2012/13 to the present.
