India's palm oil imports in September rose 4.5% month-on-month, trade body says

Business Recorder reported that palm oil shipments into India during September climbed 4.5% from August, reaching 817,884 metric tons. The figures come from the Solvent Extractors' Association of India (SEA), which released the data on Thursday. The trade body's monthly tally tracks how much palm oil arrived in one calendar month.

Soyoil imports fell 2.2% to 614,965 tons, according to the same release. Sunflower oil imports were down 32%, reaching 108,837 tons. Both declines stand in contrast to the palm oil increase in the same release.

Because the body publishes these monthly volumes, readers can track how the mix of imported oils changes from one month to the next. The release covers three separate oils, giving a broader view than a single product line.
