India's refiners seen to favour palm oil imports from Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- India’s refiners are seen to be favouring palm oil imports from Malaysia, as they seem to have been put off by the heavy export tax and levy imposed by Indonesia.

The Solvent Extractors’ Association of India executive director Dr B. V. Mehta said between January and June 2021, the country imported 1.75 million tonnes of Malaysian palm oil compared to 1.72 million tonnes imported from Indonesia.
