The sunflower oil shortage linked to the conflict in Ukraine highlighted the fragility of single-source supply chains. Serious buyers today work with at least two suppliers and diversified origins: Ukraine, Argentina, Hungary, Romania depending on market availability.
Distributors who best weathered the 2022 crisis had anticipated with a buffer stock and referenced alternative suppliers. Martigane can help you structure this approach.
Sunflower oil: the most demanded in French and Belgian retail, neutral in taste and versatile. Rapeseed oil: rich in omega-3, positive nutrition image, highly demanded in the United Kingdom. Olive oil: premium segment in strong growth, volatile price linked to Mediterranean droughts.
Acidity level is the main freshness indicator: a superior quality oil shows a level below 0.2%. Available formats: 1L bottle (retail standard), 5L and 10L can (HoReCa and collective catering), industrial packaging on request.
All our oil batches are laboratory analysed before shipment. Complete analysis sheet (acidity, peroxide index, humidity) available on simple request.
