The government’s move to reduce import tariffs on imported edible oils in the country led to a drop in the price of soybean and cottonseed in the Delhi oil-and-oil market on Friday. However, soybean oilseeds and mustard oilseeds have recorded an improvement in demand for non-oil (DOC). Traders said the government had reduced the import duty (including 10 per cent) of soybean degam and sunflower oil by about 8.25 per cent. Import tariffs, including surcharge, have been reduced from 38.5 per cent to 30.25 per cent. This led to a drop in the price of soybean oil. Experts say neither consumers nor farmers take advantage of the import tariff reduction here. Sources said the import tariff has been cut by 7.5 per cent and the oil price in the market has fallen by Rs 1 per kg. He believes the move will result in a loss of revenue for the government because oil prices abroad are more expensive.

Prior to the announcement of the import tariff reduction, there was a one per cent decrease in the Malaysia exchange, which is nearly half a percentage point higher following the tariff reduction announcement. With this, the Chicago Exchange is also currently half-strong. Following the announcement of the import tariff reduction, the price of crude palm oil improved due to improvements in the Malaysian market, with palmolin oil prices closing at a higher level due to weak demand. According to sources, the government should focus on increasing the production of oilseeds rather than increasing the import duty on oilseeds.
