Imports of sunflower oil from Ukraine rose again to previous levels


Mumbai: With the resumption of sunflower oil imports from war-torn Ukraine from early September after a gap of four months, the supply of sunflower oil in the country is returning to normal levels.

Ukraine is a major supplier of sunflower oil to India. But after the Russia-Ukraine war broke out in February, supplies from Ukraine were disrupted.

Russia blocked access to Black Sea ports, affecting supplies. However, following an agreement between the United Nations and Turkey, supplies from Ukraine have been successfully resumed, government sources said.

India's crude sunflower imports number between 20 and 25 lakh, of which 85 percent are from Ukraine and Russia.

In September, India imported 29370 tonnes of sunflower oil from Ukraine and 32178 tonnes from Russia.

Argentina has been the largest donor since the outbreak of war. A total of 60,921 tonnes were imported in September, according to government statistics.
