Data definition
Soybean Oil Production — – Soybean Oil Production refers to the total quantity of oil produced from processed soybeans within a country during a specified period, measured in tonnes. The indicator reflects the scale of soybean processing and edible oil manufacturing and is used to assess agricultural processing capacity, oilseed utilization, and the performance of the vegetable oil industry. The data presented by Our World in Data is based on statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the annual production of soybean oil extracted from soybeans through mechanical pressing and solvent extraction processes. It covers crude and refined soybean oil produced for human consumption, food manufacturing, industrial applications, and export. The figures represent domestic production compiled from official agricultural and food processing statistics and standardized by the FAO to ensure international comparability across countries and years.
The data excludes soybean cultivation and production, soybean meal, biodiesel production, other vegetable oils (such as palm, sunflower, rapeseed, or olive oil), soy-based food products, imports and exports of soybean oil, and stock changes. It also excludes informal or unrecorded production not captured in official agricultural statistics and losses occurring during storage, transportation, or distribution after production.

Measured in Tonnes, the dataset serves as an important benchmark for evaluating oilseed processing capacity, soybean utilization, agricultural productivity, food manufacturing output, supply chain efficiency, and the overall performance of Denmark's edible oil sector. Based on the validated data, Denmark recorded a highly variable production trend during the study period, reflecting fluctuations in soybean processing activity and domestic manufacturing output. Production began at 374.54 tonnes in 2018 before increasing sharply to 1,187.66 tonnes in 2019, indicating a significant expansion in processing activity. Output subsequently declined to 1,026.45 tonnes in 2020, followed by further decreases to 913.40 tonnes in 2021 and 845.08 tonnes in 2022. Despite this period of moderation, production rebounded strongly to 1,596.50 tonnes in 2023, the highest level recorded during the study period. Overall, the dataset highlights the relatively small but dynamic nature of Denmark's soybean oil industry, with production responding to changing processing volumes and market conditions. The dataset provides valuable insights into production trends, edible oil manufacturing performance, and value addition within Denmark's soybean processing sector. It supports year-over-year analysis, benchmarking against other soybean oil-producing countries, and evaluation of developments in the edible oil industry. Policymakers, soybean processors, edible oil manufacturers, agricultural producers, exporters, investors, market analysts, and researchers can use the dataset to assess production performance, monitor industry trends, identify investment opportunities, forecast future soybean oil output, improve processing efficiency, strengthen supply chain resilience, and support evidence-based strategies that promote sustainable development across Denmark's edible oil and soybean value chain.
