The European Union includes 27 nations, and has an overall population of around 520 million, ranking it third behind China and India. With a world population of 7.4 billion the EU nations account for about 7% of the total. World production of oilseeds is estimated at 578.6 MMT for the current year. 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. Oilseed and plant oil production has shown only modest gains. Imports of both oilseeds and plant oils have remained static over the past five years.Production, export, and consumption (million tonnes) of palm oil from 2004/5 to 2017/18 ConsumptionYearProductionExportsIndustrialFoodTotal2004/533.625.86.324.931.72005/63628726332006/737.628.77.727.735.92007/841.432.88.930.439.32008/944.535.31032.342.92009/1046.436.510.533.744.62010/1149.237.311.735.447.12011/1252.539.812.837502012/1356.443.114.640.354.92013/1459.343.216.241.357.52014/1561.647.514.643.167.72015/1660.945.816.544.861.32016/1765.54617.145.662.72017/1866.847.217.644.963.3Source USDA/FAS Report June 2017Consumption data for both food and nonfood uses are shown in table .
