Three major edible oil manufacturers have announced that they will raise prices for household and commercial edible oils from March to April due to unseasonable weather prices for raw soybeans and other ingredients.
Of these, Showa Sangyo will raise the price of 6 household cooking oils such as "canola oil" by 30 yen or more per kilogram from the amount delivered on March 1.
In addition, "J-Oil Mills" will raise the price of 17 household items such as "AJINOMOTO Sarasara Canola Oil" by 30 yen or more per kilogram from the amount shipped on April 1.
The Nissin Oillio Group will raise the price of 23 items such as household "Nissin Canola Oil" by 20 yen or more per kilogram from the amount delivered on April 1.
The three companies have decided to raise the prices of commercial products at the same level.
Regarding the reason, each company said that the purchase price of soybeans and rapeseed as raw materials is rising due to unseasonable weather in North America and South America, which are the main production areas, and that the demand for cooking oil is expanding in China. I'm giving it.
