Current Status of the Cooking Oil Market
Aug 26,2025
There are dozens of types of blended oils available in the market, which can be overwhelming for consumers. Recently, a reporter visited a supermarket and noticed that these blended oils include varieties such as peanut oil, camellia oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil, corn oil, sesame oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil. In addition to the traditionally named blends—like those based on a single dominant ingredient—there are also many creatively branded products, such as "Camellia-Olive Blended Oil," showcasing a mix of multiple oils. Moreover, the prices of these diverse blended oil options vary significantly, often by a wide margin. For instance, among olive-based blended oils, the cheapest option—the COFCO Group’s “Fulinmen Camellia-Olive Blended Oil” (5L per container)—is priced at just 55.90 yuan, while the priciest one—the Wilmar International Group’s “Golden Dragon Fish Olive Edible Blended Oil”—sells for an eye-watering 117.90 yuan per container. That’s more than double the price difference between the two! Given that both are top-tier brand-name products yet carry such widely divergent market prices, consumers may find themselves genuinely puzzled about how to make their purchasing decisions.
