Trends in the market: In Central and Western Europe, the Edible Oils Market is experiencing a significant shift towards health-conscious and sustainable choices, with consumers increasingly favoring organic and cold-pressed oils. This transition reflects a broader trend towards plant-based diets, as oils from nuts, seeds, and avocados gain popularity for their nutritional benefits. The younger generation is particularly driving this change, seeking unique flavors and culinary experiences.
