Palm Oil Demand Rise Amid Rise In Prices Of Rival Edible Oils Like Soyoil And Sunflower Oil According to industry officials, demand for palm oil has been growing as its price advantage over soy oil and sunflower oil has increased. This has been caused by the recent price increase in rival oils brought on by production issues in the United States and supply disruptions from the Black Sea region. 60% of the world's production of sunflower oil and 76% of its exports come from the Black Sea region. Increase In Demand For Palm Oil This increase in demand is anticipated to help Indonesia and Malaysia reduce their palm oil inventories, supporting Malaysian palm oil futures at the same time. According to Mr. Sanjeev Asthana, chief executive officer at Patanjali Foods Ltd, India's top Palm Oil Buyer, “aggressive pricing has been helping palm oil as buyers are shifting toward palm oil from other oils for near-month shipments.” The largest importer of edible oils in the world, India, brought in 1.09 million metric tons of palm oil in July, a 60% increase over June and the highest level in seven months. Asthana predicted that India's imports would be strong in both August and September. Vegetable Oil Import Pricing According to dealers, crude palm oil is available at $910 per tonne CIF (cost, insurance, and freight included) to India for shipments in September, while the prices for crude soy oil and crude sunflower oil are $1,050 and $1,010, respectively. According to a dealer with a global trade house based in New Delhi, soy oil prices increased over the past month due to concerns about production in
the United States and reduced supplies from top exporter Argentina, while sunflower oil prices increased after Russia withdrew from the Black Sea grain deal. “Palm oil prices did not rise; rather, they fell due to rising stocks in producing countries and became even more affordable for buyers,” the dealer explained. Price-conscious Asian buyers have traditionally relied on palm oil due to its low costs and quick shipping times. The difference between palm oil and competing oils is likely to gradually narrow as rising exports reduce inventories in Malaysia and Indonesia, according to the trader. Palm Oil Imports And Exports According to a Mumbai-based trader, in addition to India- China, Bangladesh, and Pakistan have increased their palm oil purchases for shipments in August and September. China imported 778,000 tonnes of vegetable oil (primarily palm oil) in July, a 48% increase from a year earlier. According to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, Malaysia's exports of palm oil increased 15.55% to 1.35 million tons in July. Exports of products containing palm oil from Malaysia increased by 17.5% to 383,795 tons in the first ten days of August, according to AmSpec Agri Malaysia on Thursday.
