Oilseeds Likely to Benefit from Boom in Bio-Diesel As world interest in eco-friendly renewable sources of fuel expands rapidly, more oilseed production or vegetable oil consumption is going towards bio-diesel. This trend has implications for world vegetable oil production and prices in the coming years. Emulating the world`s largest bio-diesel producers and consumers - European Union and Brazil, several developing countries have ventured into bio-diesel production using indigenous plant material. While world production of oilseeds and palm oil is forecast to expand in 2004-05 to 379 million tonnes (mt) and 29.8 mt respectively, consumption too is forecast to grow.
