The imports of palm oil fell for the third consecutive month by 11.56% and stood at 608,762 tonnes in January. As per data compiled by industry body Solvent Extractors Association (SEA), the fall in imports is on account of good domestic oilseeds production and better availability of edible oils. The country’s total vegetable oil imports fell by 19% to 10.24 lakh tonnes (LT) in January this year from 12.58 LT in the year-ago period.

Among palm oil products, import of RBD palmolein increased to 196,623 tonnes in January this year from 150,064 tonnes in the year-ago period.
