Local special circumstances:
In France, the Edible Oils Market is influenced by the country's rich culinary heritage, which emphasizes the use of high-quality oils like olive and sunflower.

Consumer trends toward health and wellness, coupled with rising disposable incomes, drive demand for premium and organic oils.
