bt, butter. Countries: Argentina, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines.<br />

veloping countries but higher in areas where the oleochemical industry is<br />

concentrated, such as North America, western Europe, Japan, <strong>and</strong> Southeast<br />

Asia. It is also relevant for this consideration that oils used extensively for<br />

oleochemical purposes include the lauric oils (coconut <strong>and</strong> palm kernel),<br />

tallow, <strong>and</strong>, to a lesser extent, palm oil <strong>and</strong> palm stearin.<br />

• The figures in Table 4 show that there are several countries in which an oil<br />

<strong>and</strong> fat grown locally is also the major fat, consumed at a level close to or<br />

higher than 50% of total disappearance, e.g., Canada canola oil 47%, USA<br />

soybean oil 52%, Philippines coconut oil 55%, Argentina sunflower oil 56%,<br />

Malaysia palm oil 60%, Brazil soybean oil 70%, <strong>and</strong> Indonesia palm oil<br />

89%. In most cases the real figures will be higher than those cited above<br />

when allowance has been made for the use of lauric oils <strong>and</strong> tallow in the<br />

oleochemical industry (see above for the position in the USA). The situation<br />

is very different in countries that import large amounts of seed for local<br />

crushing or import oils <strong>and</strong> fats. This is apparent in the figures in Table 4<br />

for EU-15, Japan, China, <strong>and</strong> India. EU-15 is an association of states covering<br />

a wide geographic region, <strong>and</strong> the figures in Table 5 reveal that there<br />
