Market environment and demand trends
Vegetable oil demand has increased, driven by energy and food sectors following regulatory clarity (RVO), with near-term demand expected to outpace production.
Global biofuels policies, especially in Brazil, Indonesia, and Europe, are supporting long-term demand for oilseeds and specialty oils.
Crush margins are currently above last year’s levels, especially in North America, though refining premiums are less robust than in 2022–2023.
Uncertainties remain due to crop development, geopolitical conflicts, and input costs, but diversified operations provide risk management flexibility.
Operational execution and capital projects
Flexible asset base allows rapid response to regional crop disruptions and shifting customer needs, optimizing margins.
Major capital projects nearing completion, with Destrehan plant and export terminal expected online by late Q3, and other facilities ramping up through 2027–2028.
Long-term return profiles for new projects are favorable, with some benefiting from current strong margin environments.
