14 Jun 2013 Evaluate

The import of vegetable oil stood at 9.17 lakh tonnes last month a rise of 2% compared to 8.96 lakh tonnes in the year-ago period, as per report compiled by the Solvent Extractors’ Association of India. The vegetable oil imports during November 2012-May 2013, rose 10.43% to 61.97 lakh tonnes compared to 56.11 lakh tonnes in the year-ago period. Oil year runs from November to October.

The import of RBD palmolein touched 373,837 tonnes in May 2013, highest in any single month since edible oil imports were allowed under OGL in 1994. This record import of RBD palmolein can be attributed to reduction in duty difference between crude and refined palmolein and inverted duty structure by palm oil exporting countries.

As on June 01, 2013, the stocks of edible oil at various ports were estimated at 6.75 lakh tonnes and about 13 lakh tonnes are in the pipeline. In the first seven months of 2012-13 oil year, palm oil imports increased to 50.82 lakh tonnes against 41.64 lakh tonnes in the corresponding period previous year. However, soft oils imports fell to 9.47 lakh tonnes from 13.22 lakh tonnes. India imports palm oil from Indonesia and Malaysia and soyabean oil from Argentina and Brazil.
