Rapeseed oil is extracted from vibrant yellow-flowering plants in the Brassicaceae family, Brassica rapa and Brassica napus species. Its oil-rich (Erucic acid) seeds differentiate into low-erucic acid (canola oil) for cooking and high-erucic acid rapeseed oil (HEAR) for industrial use.
As an edible oil and industrial biofuel, rapeseed oil is a viable global market product and ranks among the top edible oil commodities. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) data for the 2025-26 marketing year (MY) records global rapeseed oil production at 36.65 MMT (Million Metric Tons), up from 34.28 MMT the previous year.
Integrated crushing, harvesting, and oil extraction technologies influence countries' rapeseed oil production. This article presents statistics on the 10 largest rapeseed oil producers by country, their global production share, and 10-year change in production rates.
