Rapeseed meal exports doubled to 6,01,105 tonnes in the reported six months from 3,00,627

tonne in the year-ago period. South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand were major importers. The ongoing trade dispute between the US and China has created uncertainty and forced to look to other origins for their requirements of oil meals. China is set to lift the nearly six-year-old ban on import of oil meals from India to bridge its deficit following reduced supply from the United States. Prior to the ban in 2012, China used to import nearly half a million tonne of oil meals.
