Indian rapeseed refiners call for halt to palmolein imports


palm oil factory

NEW DELHI: Indian refiners of edible oils urged the government on Tuesday to stop issuing import licenses for palmolein to help avoid a crash in domestic prices of rapeseed.

India is the world's biggest importer of palm oil, an alternative ingredient to rapeseed oil in food. In a surprise move last week the government issued import licences for 1.1 million tonnes of refined palmolein from Indonesia, weeks after curbing overseas purchases of the commodity.
