Vegetable oil imports drop 13% in oil year 2019-20: SEA

17 Nov 2020 Evaluate

Industry body -- the Solvent Extractors’ Association (SEA) in its latest report has said that vegetable oil imports of India fell 13 per cent in the oil year 2019-20 that ended last month at 135.25 lakh tonnes, the lowest in six years, on lower demand of cooking oils from hotels, restaurants and cafeterias since April due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Import of vegetable oils (edible and non-edible oils) in October fell to 12,66,784 tonnes, compared with 13,78,104 tonnes a year ago.

Import of vegetable oils during oil year 2019-20 (November to October) is reported at 135.25 lakh tonnes, compared with 155.50 lakh tonnes during 2018-19. The association attributed the fall in imports to ‘demand destruction since April 2020 from the HoReCa (hotel, restaurant and cafetaria) segment’. It noted that COVID-19 is the main factor for reduction in demand and consumption, and added that the total import of vegetable oils is the lowest in the past six years.

According to the data, edible oil imports declined to 131.75 lakh tonnes in the oil year 2019-20, from 149.13 lakh tonnes in the previous year. Import of non-edible oils fell 45 per cent to 3,49,172 tonnes, compared with 6,36,159 tonnes a year ago, thanks to higher domestic production and reduced demand. SEA said import of refined palmolien in 2019-20 drastically reduced to 4.21 lakh tonnes, from 27.30 lakh tonnes in 2018-19 due to the imposition of 5 per cent safeguard duty on September 4, 2019. Placing RBD Palmolein in the restricted list category with effect from January 8 this year also impacted the import.

Import of crude palm oil marginally increased during the year compared to the previous year. Soybean oil import is stagnant at between 31 tonnes and 33 lakh tonnes, while sunflower oil import is rising year-by-year, thanks to household demand. The association said domestic refining capacity utilisation improved during 2019-20 to 55-60 per cent, from 40-45 per cent in a year before, thanks to the stoppage of import RBD Palmolien. During the oil year 2019-20, palm oil import sharply decreased to 72.17 lakh tonnes, compared with 94.09 lakh tonnes in the previous year.
