India is set to increase its palm oil imports due to reduced duties, with the country's imports for 2020/21 expected to rise by 470,000 tons to 8.5 million tons. This is due to tax cuts that could lower the cost of oil for consumers by Rs 15-20 per kilogram. The move is expected to benefit major Indian edible oil companies and suppliers such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. In contrast, global oilseed production has seen a slight decline this month, largely due to a drop in soybean production in Argentina and the US. However, increases in production in India and other countries have offset this to some extent. Global meal production is projected to rise, driven by increased exports of Indian soybean meal and Canada's focus on rapeseed products.
