In December 2023, total oilmeals exports were at 5.32 lakh tonne, up by 23% from 4.33 lakh tonne in the year-ago period. The country's export of soyameal rose due to price competitiveness amid shortage of Argentine export supplies in recent months.

The trend of export of rapeseed meal continued in the current year as 18.24 lakh tonne was exported during April-December of this fiscal compared with 16.69 lakh tonne in the year-ago period. Currently, India is the most competitive supplier of rapeseed meal to South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and other far east countries. Total oilmeals rose 24% to 34.96 lakh tonne during April-December of the current fiscal from 28.16 lakh tonne in the year-ago period.
