Sunflower oil imports fall sharply by 3%

According to the Indian Vegetable Oil Producers' Association, the import of sunflower in February was 120,000 tonnes as compared to 303 tonnes in January.
In the current month, imports are likely to be negligible. India will be forced to increase its imports of palm and soybean oil to meet its edible oil needs as sunflower imports fall.
Shipments from the Black Sea had slowed down due to tensions even before Russia invaded Ukraine on February 8.
