India edible oil imports fell over 7% on year.

India edible oil imports fell a little over 7% on year to 1.10 million tonne in March. In March, overall imports of vegetable oils comprising edible and non-edible oils were at 1.11 million tonne compared with 1.19 million tonne a year ago. During Nov-Mar, the country imported 5.7 million tonne of edible oils, down from 6.3 million tonne a year ago. Total imports have declined this year because of a larger crop of oilseeds and consequent higher availability of edible oils. Vegetable oil imports in Nov-Mar were at 5.8 million tonne, down from 6.3 million tonne a year ago.
