Used cooking oil prices
UCO price assessments, charts, analysis and forecasts
The demand for used cooking oil (UCO) is increasing primarily due to its growing role in sustainable biofuel production. Government policies and incentives promoting renewable energy sources and waste-to-energy initiatives call for the adoption of circular economy practices and contribute to the increased usage of UCO in various industries, particularly in the production of biodiesel.
Traders and procurers of used cooking oil (UCO) encounter several challenges from price volatility to supply chain instability.
UCO prices can be highly volatile due to fluctuating supply and demand dynamics, market speculation and varying feedstock costs, making it difficult for procurers to agree with suppliers on stable, long-term pricing terms.
Fastmarkets Agriculture prices are embedded in the workflow of nearly all collectors and buyers in the UCO supply chain, from restaurants to renewable diesel plants. Our benchmark prices for feedstocks include tallow, choice white grease and stabilized poultry fat assessments. With over sixty years of experience in covering animal fat and feedstock prices, we are able to equip you with the reputable and recognizable price data you need to trade successfully in the used cooking oil market.
