Saudi Arabia Vegetable oils Market Synopsis
Vegetable oils are edible plant-based oils derived from fruits, nuts, and seeds. Some of the most widely used vegetable oils include palm oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, canola/rapeseed oil, coconut oil, olive oil and corn/maize germ oil. Saudi Arabia is among the largest producers and consumers of vegetable oils in the Middle East region. The production of major crops such as dates has driven demand for date byproducts such as date seed cake and deodorized crude palm kernel (CPKO) which are then processed into different types of vegetable oils such as palm olein or RBD Palm Olein.
