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).
Measured in Thousand 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 Israel's edible oil sector. Based on the validated data, Israel recorded moderate fluctuations in soybean oil production throughout the study period, with an overall declining trend. Production increased from 68.00 thousand tonnes in 2015 to 77.90 thousand tonnes in 2016, the highest level during the study period, before easing to 75.40 thousand tonnes in both 2017 and 2018. Output declined further to 71.80 thousand tonnes in 2019 and 65.80 thousand tonnes in 2020, followed by a sharper decrease to 46.50 thousand tonnes in 2021, the lowest level during the period. Production recovered to 57.30 thousand tonnes in 2022 before moderating again to 51.20 thousand tonnes in 2023. Overall, the dataset highlights a fluctuating production pattern with lower output in recent years, reflecting changing soybean processing activity and market conditions. The dataset provides valuable insights into production trends, edible oil manufacturing performance, and value addition within Israel's soybean processing sector. It supports year-over-year analysis, benchmarking against other major soybean oil-producing countries, and evaluation of long-term industry developments. Policymakers, soybean processors, edible oil manufacturers, agricultural producers, exporters, investors, market analysts, and researchers can use the dataset to assess production performance, monitor market 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 Israel's edible oil and soybean value chain.
