Edible Oil Price: Amidst the boom in the global market, there has been an improvement in oil prices across the country. Edible oil prices have improved in a week. Due to increased arrival of new mustard crop in the mandis, the prices of mustard oil have also seen a decline. Apart from this, the prices of edible oil in the foreign markets have seen strength.
turmoil continues in foreign markets
Let us tell you that during the week under review, the price of soybean oil increased by $ 118 per tonne while the price of crude palm oil (CPO) increased by $ 180. There is a turmoil in the market due to rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine and military action. Sometimes there is a huge boom in the foreign markets and sometimes there is a sharp decline. Groundnut oil-oilseeds prices have increased due to the rise in foreign markets.
Mustard oil prices soften
Sources said that due to increase in arrival of new mustard in the mandis, there is a softening in the prices of mustard oil and oilseeds. The daily arrival of mustard in the mandis has increased to six and a half to seven lakh sacks. The price of mustard oil used to be about Rs 30 more than soybean oil, which has now become cheaper by about Rs 2-3 a liter than soybean. This situation has brought some relief to the consumers of mustard.
CPO and Palmolein oil closed sharply
Sources said that the prices of CPO and Palmolein oil closed with gains in the week under review due to the rise in overseas markets. In line with the local demand and the general trend of bullishness, the price of cottonseed oil also saw a rise. There is a dire need to make the country self-reliant in terms of oil-oilseeds production and dependence on foreign countries is not good for this. Due to this dependence, India is prone to the arbitrariness of foreign companies and has to spend huge amounts of foreign exchange.
Import expenditure stood at Rs 71,625 crore
In the financial year 2019-20, the country’s import expenditure of edible oils was about Rs 71,625 crore, which increased to Rs 1.17 lakh crore in the financial year 2020-21. In the financial year 2021-22, this expenditure is estimated to increase to about Rs 1.45 lakh crore. On behalf of the government, cooperative institutions Hafed and Nafed should buy and stock 20-25 lakh tonnes of mustard, even after paying bonus at market price, if needed, because mustard oilseeds do not spoil quickly and it is sufficient at the time of need.
