Around 11,880 MT of imported crude palm oil is expected to arrive at Krishnapatnam port, Andhra Pradesh, on Nov 07 via Parekh Marine shipping agency. In a bid to curb rising imports of edible oils, especially palm oil, soyoil and coconut oil, the government had in August raised import duty on crude palm oil to 15% from 7.5%. India is the largest importer of edible oils in the world and palm oil accounts for over 60% of the total import of edible oils by the country.
