Import of vegetable oils decline 23% in June

18 Jul 2018 Evaluate

Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA) in its latest report has said that import of vegetable oils declined by 23% in the month of June 2018 to 10,42,003 tonnes compared to 13,44,868 tonnes in June 2017. It added that the fall in import was on account of rupee depreciation, custom duty structure and credit-crunch in the market.

According to the report, import of edible oil fell to 10,07,563 tonnes in June from 12,93,777 tonnes in the year-ago period, the shipments of non-edible oils declined to 34,440 tonnes from 51,091 tonnes during the review period. The import of vegetable oils (comprising edible oil and non-edible oil) fell by 2% to 96,46,538 tonnes during November 2017 to June 2018, as against 98,67,572 tonnes in the corresponding period of the previous year.

SEA said that in last one year, in the international market, prices of edible oils have gone down by 2% to 10% due to larger supply, and at the same time rupee depreciation by nearly 5% in one year, nullified the advantage of price reduction.

The data showed that the overall palm oil import has decreased to 55,57,723 tonnes from 59,25,563 tonnes during November-June period of 2017-18 oil year. Soft oils (like soyabean) import increased to 38,43,053 tonnes from 36,90,395 tonnes during the same period of last year. Also a parcel of 3,000 tonnes of cottonseed oil from US arrived during April 2018.
