India has experienced a revival in palm oil demand in April, following a period of decreased activity for five months, largely due to reduced prices and positive import margins in comparison to soybean oil. This shift is linked to the surge in palm oil production in Malaysia and the drop in prices caused by concerns over potential US tariffs. As a result, palm oil is now trading at a lower price than soybean oil, leading to a rise in import margins for the former while maintaining negative margins for other oils. Consequently, India's palm oil imports in March saw a 13.7% increase compared to February, although they remained 38% lower than the previous year. OleoScope anticipates a growth in global palm oil exports by September, reaching 25 million tons.

India’s palm oil imports in March increased by 13.7% compared to February, amounting to 424.6 thousand tons, but still 38% less than in March 2024.
