Edible
Oil India :- Edible
oils prices in the Indian market have crashed due to large imports by
multinational trading houses.
India accounts for 9.3
per cent of world oilseed production. It has the world's fourth largest
edible oil economy. Yet, about 43 per cent of edible oil available in
India is imported. In 1999, India ranked as the world's largest importer
of edible oils, displacing China. The bulk of edible oil India imports
under the Open General Licence (OGL) is RBD palmolein of Malaysian and
Indonesian origin.
India has approximately 300 crude edible oil refining units, 60-70 per
cent of which are small. Unlike the bigger refiners, the small ones are
unable to import huge quantities of crude either due to their low
capacity or lack of financial resources, and may be forced to close down
or sell out to the bigger ones in the foreseeable future.
