Cottonseed production is limited in the UK, necessitating imports which can be affected by geopolitical factors and international trade policies. Additionally, consumer awareness of alternative oils and health concerns surrounding certain edible oils impact market demand and pricing strategies. Regulatory compliance and sustainability concerns further complicate market dynamics, requiring industry players to navigate stringent food safety standards and sustainable sourcing practices.
