Peanut Oil Prices Index: Trend, Chart, News, Graph, Demand, Forecast

In Q1 2025, the North American Peanut Oil market experienced notable price fluctuations driven by changing supply conditions, shifting demand, and broader economic influences. Prices began the year elevated in January, reflecting lingering supply chain disruptions from late 2024 compounded by adverse weather in key production regions. Strong demand from the food and biofuel sectors, combined with constrained availability, created a tight market and pushed prices upward. February brought some relief as logistical challenges eased and bottlenecks in production were addressed, resulting in more consistent supplies and improved shipping efficiency. However, uneven demand patterns across downstream industries kept the market cautious, and currency fluctuations, along with inconsistent export pricing from major producing countries, maintained volatility and forced buyers to adapt their purchasing strategies. By March, the market continued to experience price variability, with uncertainty stemming from a slowdown in demand from non-essential sectors and inconsistent spot buying activity. Despite improved shipping capacity and lower freight rates from exporting countries helping to reduce landed costs, concerns over weather conditions and geopolitical trade developments kept participants wary, leading to continued price swings. Overall, Q1 2025 in the North American peanut oil market was defined by a period of volatility shaped by gradual supply recovery, evolving demand trends, and macroeconomic factors influencing pricing throughout the quarter.

In the Asia Pacific region, the Indian peanut oil market exhibited a dynamic pricing landscape during Q1 2025, with downward pressure characterizing January, a sharp price rise in February, and a subsequent decline in March. January’s price drop was driven by a surplus of peanuts resulting from record harvests, particularly in Gujarat, alongside weak export demand and heightened competition from alternative edible oils such as palm and soybean. The abundant supply, coupled with lackluster domestic demand from the food processing sector, a depreciating rupee, and elevated import volumes, amplified downward pricing pressure and increased inventories, straining farmers financially and highlighting the need for more robust domestic consumption and diversified exports. February marked a reversal as prices surged due to a tightening supply of peanuts caused by delayed harvests, alongside strong demand from the food and healthcare industries. However, a dip in India’s Manufacturing PMI signaled slowing industrial activity, which restricted processing output and compounded supply tightness. Volatility in related edible oil markets, particularly sunflower and palm oil, indirectly supported peanut oil prices. By March, prices declined again as supply conditions improved with large-scale peanut auctions in Gujarat and expectations of a strong harvest in Tamil Nadu increasing availability. However, subdued domestic demand from processors and a growing emphasis on exports kept local prices under pressure, reflecting the divergence between robust international demand—fueled by a strengthening rupee—and weaker domestic consumption.

The European peanut oil market faced significant price fluctuations throughout Q1 2025, influenced by a complex mix of supply constraints and shifting demand. January saw a substantial price increase triggered by weather-related disruptions in major production regions and tightening global supply chains, which, combined with rising freight rates, pushed import costs higher. Strong demand from food processors and biofuel manufacturers added to upward pricing momentum. In February, market conditions shifted as freight rates eased and supply from origin countries stabilized, relieving some cost pressure on European buyers. However, ongoing cautious purchasing behavior and subdued industrial activity—largely due to persistent inflationary concerns—kept demand from overtaking supply, leading to a market correction. By March, renewed concerns over global supply limitations and higher costs in origin markets reignited price volatility. Supply tightness persisted, and stronger export offers emerged as demand from European food processors remained steady, buoyed by improving economic indicators and moderating inflation. These factors supported an upward price trend toward the end of the quarter, reflecting the persistent volatility driven by constrained supply, evolving demand patterns, and shifting cost dynamics.

In South America, the Brazilian peanut oil market recorded pronounced price movements over Q1 2025, starting with a notable price decline in January followed by increases in February and March due to evolving supply-demand conditions. January’s price drop resulted from expectations of a 46.6% surge in peanut production for the 2024/25 season, pushing projected output to around 1.07 million tons. This substantial supply boost led to oversaturation in both domestic and export markets, driving prices downward. Favorable late-season rainfall improved crop yields and quality, reinforcing the supply glut, while concurrent strong harvests in competing countries like Argentina and India intensified global competition and made Brazilian peanut oil more attractive to international buyers. In February, prices began to rise modestly as existing stocks were depleted and the arrival of new harvests was delayed, tightening supply. Inflationary pressures, combined with volatility across the global edible oil market, added to pricing uncertainty, while solid demand from the food and personal care industries as well as growing industrial activity supported upward price adjustments. March continued this trend, with a further slight price increase attributed to persistent supply tightness caused by delayed harvests and low inventories, while inflation climbed to 5.48%, inflating production and logistics costs. Ongoing robust demand domestically and rising international interest amid broader edible oil market instability kept prices firm through the end of the quarter, underscoring the influence of local harvest conditions and global market dynamics on Brazilian peanut oil pricing.
