India’s sunflower oil imports rose 121% in April, according to SEA.
India’s palm oil imports fell by 26% in April, reaching a four-month low, as weak institutional demand and rising prices, which narrowed the price differential between palm oil and competing oils, discouraged processors from increasing purchases, the Edible Oils Association of India (SEA) reported, confirming data published by news outlets in early May.
A decline in imports by the world’s largest vegetable oil importer could lead to increased inventories at leading producers in Indonesia and Malaysia, putting pressure on prices.
India’s palm oil imports in April fell to 513,000 tonnes, the lowest since December 2025, compared to 689,000 tonnes in March.
Soybean oil imports rose 25% to 360,000 tonnes, reaching the highest level in four months, while sunflower oil imports increased by about 121% to 434,000 tonnes, the highest in 22 months.
