Summary The consumption of edible fats and oils in Korea is expected to reach 600,000 MT, a three‐fold increase, in 10 years from 1979 to 1989. Even if the best efforts are applied to increasing the production of indigenous oil resources such as rice bran, rapeseed, sesame, perilla, peanut, and soybean, the dependence on imported fats and oils (about 80%) likely will continue. The rapid increase in consumption of edible fats and oils in future will certainly warrant intensified research efforts related to fat and oil production and consumption.
