Non-food demand for oils and fats.
The development of non-food uses of oils and fats over the period 1982-93 is examined looking at trends and the main areas of use. The non-food oils and fats market grew significantly over the decade to occupy an increasingly important place in world production and trade. In 1992, world consumption of oils and fats (excluding maize oil) reached 81 Mt, an increase of 27% over ten years. Of the three sectors of consumption (food, industrial and animal feeds), industrial consumption displayed the highest rate of growth, reaching 10.7 Mt or 13.5% of global consumption in 1993. Tallow retained leading position on the market, followed by palm oils and their byproducts. The development of non-food uses of oils and fats benefited South East Asia in particular, as producer, consumer and processor. The main areas of use were the chemical industry, the soap and detergents industries, and lubricants.
