Agri-Pulse reports that renewable diesel demand has driven a surge in imports of animal fats and vegetable oils, which more than doubled between 2020 and 2023. Used cooking oil accounts for much of the growth, and the industry has so far sourced feedstocks without strain.
Heavy import demand for feedstocks supports global vegetable oil prices, and tighter 2025 supply after tax credit changes could add upward pressure.
