  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Post forecasts a 14 percent increase in Zimbabwe’s total oilseed production in the 2014/15 MY, to 359,000 tons, due to a strong demand from oilseed processors as oilseed crushing is starting to recover. The area planted to oilseeds is expected to increase by 18 percent to 635,000 hectares. As a result, oilseed meal production in the 2014/15 MY will double to 117,000 tons from the 58,000 tons produced in the 2012/13 MY. Oil production from oilseeds is expected to increase to 36,000 tons. However, Zimbabwe is still expected to import about 30,000 tons of soybean meal and 70,000 tons of vegetable oil.
