15 Mar 2022 Evaluate

Industry body -- Solvent Extractors' Association of India (SEA) in its latest report has stated that India's edible oil imports rose 23 per cent to 9,83,608 tonnes in February 2022 mainly due to a sharp rise in shipments of refined palm oil. Edible oil imports stood at 7,96,568 tonnes in the same month last year. Total import of vegetable oils (edible and non-edible) increased to 10,19,997 tonnes as compared to 8,38,607 tonnes in February 2021. Out of the total vegetable oils imports, the edible oils import rose to 9,83,608 tonnes from 7,96,568 tonnes in February 2021. Imports of refined palm oil increased to 3,02,928 tonnes from 6,000 tonnes. Non-edible oil imports last month fell to 36,389 tonnes from 42,039 tonnes in the year-ago period.

The overall import of vegetable oils during the first four months of 2021-22 oil year, which runs from November-October, went up 7 per cent to 46,91,158 tonnes as compared to 43,94,760 tonnes during the same period of the previous year. The import of RBD Palmolein jumped from 21,601 tonnes to 5,19,450 tonnes. In contrast, the import of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) declined from 24,89,105 tonnes to 15,62,639 tonnes. India usually imports about 1.75-2 lakh tonnes of sunflower oil per month.

The association said ‘The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has disturbed sunflower oil supply. In February 2022, about 1,52,000 tonnes arrived in India and similar quantity (is) likely to arrive in March' 2022, as vessels which left before war would arrive (at) Indian ports during the current month’. If war continues, there could be decline in shipment of sunflower oil in later months. It added ‘however, short fall of sunflower oil availability could be met through higher domestic availability of soybean and mustard oils’. SEA pointed out that announcement made by the Indonesian government on March 9 to increase the limit of domestic sell from 20 per cent to 30 per cent will further reduce the Indonesian export volume and tighten the global export supplies. It said ‘these two factors lead to high volatility in last few days in edible oil prices in international market’.
