However, the ban has been lifted since May 23. Imports of palm oil were closed during this period. Therefore, the price of edible oil, including soybean oil, had reached Rs 170 per kg. According to traders, it will take 15 days for oil imports to be restored.Annual import of 200 lakh tonnes of edible oilThe central government has controlled the price rise in edible oil by reducing import duties. But, it is unlikely to decrease. The government has exempted 2 million tonnes of sunflower oil and 2 million tonnes of soybean oil annually from import duty. However, in reality, oil seed production in the country is low. About 200 lakh tonnes of edible oil has to be imported every year. The annual import of soybean oil is 130 lakh tonnes and import of sunflower oil is 4 million tonnes. Traders are questioning whether the government will levy import duty again if imports exceed Rs 40 lakh.Palm oil Rs 210 kgSoybean oil is imported from the United States (Chicago), Argentina and Brazil, and sunflower oil from Russia and Ukraine. Imports of sunflower oil have been suspended for nearly four months due to the Russia-Ukraine war. As a result, the price of this oil has gone up from Rs 160 to Rs 220 per kg in six months.
