What to Buy and Why - Edible Oil
Reason to Buy

Imports of cooking oil likely to increase 15%

1) The country’s cooking oil imports may surge this year as dry weather
    curbs oilseed planting and some farmers shift to wheat and barley to
    benefit from soaring prices, analysts and traders said.

2) Farmers reduced sowing of oilseeds mainly because of depleted soil
    moisture in Rajasthan as rain-fed fields suffer from a prolonged dry
    spell, the agriculture ministry said on January 18. The area under
    winter-sown oilseeds declined 10 per cent to 8.55 million hectares
    (21 million acres) from 9.5 million hectares a year earlier. Barley was
    sown on 7.25 million hectares, 12 per cent more than a year earlier,
    the ministry said.

3) Mustard oil is the third-most used cooking oil in India and accounts
    for more than 70 per sent of the nation’s output of winter-sown
    oilseeds.
    Mustard output may fall as low as 5 million tones from 6.22 million
    tones, Govindlal G Patel, director of Dipak Enterprises, said on
    January 22.

4) The country’s cooking oil imports may rise to 5.4 million tones this
    year from 4.7 million tones last year, the survey showed.

5) Overseas purchases by the world’s second-biggest buyer of edible oils
    may gain 15 per cent in the 12 months ending October 31, compared
    with a year earlier, according to the median estimate in a survey of six
    traders and analysts by Bloomberg News.
