Indias vegetable oil imports flat in June despite tariff cut boost to crude oils
New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI) India's vegetable oil imports remained flat at 15.49 lakh tonnes in June compared to the same month last year, even as shipments of crude edible oils surged more than 25 per cent, industry body Solvent Extractors Association (SEA) said on Monday. The rise in crude oil shipments came after the government reduced the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on crude edible oils, including crude palm oil, crude soybean oil, and crude sunflower oil, to 10 per cent from 20 per cent, effective May 31. Total vegetable oils, comprising both edible and non-edible oils, stood at 15.50 lakh tonnes in June 2024. In the edible oil category, barring crude sunflower oils, imports of other crude edible oil variants rose 25.64 per cent to 11.51 lakh tonnes in June from 9.16 lakh tonnes a year earlier. However, crude sunflower oil shipments declined 53.58 per cent to 2.61 lakh tonnes in June from the year-ago period. According to SEA data, crude palm oil (CPO) imports rose 23.55 per cent to 7.88 lakh tonnes in June from 6.37 lakh tonnes a year earlier, while crude soybean oil imports increased 30.39 per cent to 3.59 lakh tonnes from 2.75 lakh tonnes. Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO) imports rose 33.33 per cent to 4,000 tonnes in June from 3,000 tonnes in the year-ago period. Total imports of crude edible oils (CPO, CPKO, crude sunflower and crude soybean oils) stood at 11.51 lakh tonnes in June. Among refined edible oils, RBD palmolein imports rose to 1.63 lakh tonnes in June against 1.45 lakh tonnes a year earlier. Non-edible oil imports fell to 18,497 tonnes in June from 23,178 tonnes in June 2024. SEA said agencies, including NAFED, HAFED and NCDEX, are currently holding approximately 14 lakh tonnes of soybean and a similar quantity of rapeseed. "In view of the rising prices of edible oils, the Government of India may consider releasing a substantial quantity of these stocks into the market over the next three months, ahead of the upcoming harvest," SEA said. With the kharif soybean crop harvest expected in just two and a half months, early liquidation of these stocks will help stabilise prices during the festive season, the industry body added. "Timely action will not only benefit consumers but also ease the financial and logistical burden on government agencies, while supporting overall domestic availability of edible oils," SEA said. India, the world's largest edible oil consumer and importer, had edible oil stocks of 15.68 lakh tonnes as of July. In the first eight months of the oil year 2024-25 (November 2024-June 2025), total vegetable oil imports reached 94.34 lakh tonnes, down 8 per cent from 102.29 lakh tonnes in the same period last year.

Valued at approximately USD 0.9 billion in 2023, the market is projected to reach USD 1.359 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.50% during the forecast period. Sustainable Palm Oil Market Size was valued at USD 0.9 Billion in 2023. The sustainable palm oil industry is projected to grow from USD 0.95 Billion in 2024 to USD 1.359 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.50% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Palm oil, a versatile and widely used vegetable oil, is integral to various industries, including food and beverage, cosmetics, and biofuels. However, its production has been associated with deforestation, habitat loss, and significant greenhouse gas emissions. In response, sustainable palm oil initiatives have emerged, aiming to balance industry demands with environmental conservation. Certification programs like the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable practices within the industry. These programs set stringent criteria for environmentally responsible palm oil production, ensuring that certified producers adhere to standards that minimize deforestation and protect biodiversity. As a result, certified sustainable palm oil is gaining preference among consumers and manufacturers committed to ethical sourcing. "Free Sample Copy" - Access a complimentary copy of our report to explore its content and insights: The Asia-Pacific region, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia, dominates global palm oil production, accounting for approximately 90% of the supply. Indonesia, the world's largest producer, has implemented policies to increase the biodiesel blend to 40% palm oil-based fuel by 2025, aiming to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels and support the palm oil industry. This policy is expected to tighten global palm oil supplies, potentially leading to higher prices. Conversely, Malaysia has decided against increasing its biodiesel blend from the current 10% to 20%, citing the high costs of necessary infrastructure development. This decision reflects a cautious approach, balancing industry growth with economic considerations. In major consumer markets like India, shifts in import patterns are evident. For the first time, India's annual palm oil imports are projected to fall behind those of soft oils such as soybean and sunflower. This trend is attributed to the rising prices of palm oil compared to alternatives, prompting refiners to opt for more economical options.

Environmental concerns remain central to the sustainable palm oil discourse. The expansion of palm oil plantations has historically led to deforestation and habitat loss, notably impacting biodiversity-rich regions. Efforts to mitigate these effects include enforcing deforestation-free sourcing and protecting critical ecosystems. Collaborative initiatives among governments, NGOs, and industry stakeholders are essential to promote reforestation and sustainable land-use practices. Despite these efforts, challenges persist. Critics argue that certification programs like the RSPO need to enforce stricter standards and ensure compliance to effectively curb environmental degradation. Additionally, the economic implications of transitioning to sustainable practices can be significant, particularly for smallholder farmers who may lack the resources to implement necessary changes. The future of the sustainable palm oil market hinges on balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship. As consumer awareness continues to rise, demand for sustainably sourced products is expected to grow, incentivizing producers to adopt eco-friendly practices. Technological advancements in sustainable agriculture, coupled with supportive policies and international cooperation, will be crucial in shaping a resilient and responsible palm oil industry.
