Abstract
Abstract The global trade of vegetable oils is a critical component of the global supply chain, with significant economic, environmental, and policy implications. This research focuses on cadets in nautical and technical programs, who are prospective seafarers responsible for the distribution of vegetable oils. Incorporating a qualitative research approach and a comprehensive literature review, this study aims to elucidate the cadets’ understanding of and perspectives on the challenges and sustainable economic strategies associated with vegetable oils. The methodology includes semi-structured interviews with cadets, followed by thematic data analysis. The findings are expected to provide insights for policy change, curriculum development, and industry strategies. Understanding the cadets’ viewpoints is crucial for crafting effective solutions in an industry marked by price fluctuations, environmental concerns, and geopolitical influences. This research emphasizes the importance of sustainable economic strategies in ensuring the long-term viability and environmental responsibility of the vegetable oil supply chain. By enhancing the awareness and preparedness of future seafarers, this study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on sustainable and economically viable vegetable oil trade.
