NEW DELHI(Commodity Online): India's edible oil imports may rise by 20% due to the low crop output on account of deficit rains. Imports during the 10 month period from November 2011 to August 2012 reached 7.98 mt which was a rise of 20.7% according to data from Solvent Extractors Association.
According to estimates, India’s edible oil imports are likely to touch the 10 million tons (mt) mark in marketing year (MY) 2011-12, which runs from November 2011 to October 2012. Most of the rise in imports has come from RBD palmolein, sunflower oil and soybean oil, which is likely to continue.
Consumption of edible oil is growing at a far more rapid pace than production in India . Despite government’s incentives, the growers are not going for oilseeds crop as other cash crops are giving them better returns. Growers are also skeptical about oilseeds due to increased uncertainty about weather conditions.
