India’s oilmeal exports to China surged over 20-fold to 7.79 lakh tonnes in the first eleven months of this fiscal, following higher demand due to lower prices compared to competitors, according to industry body SEA data.
Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA), however, said the exports could face a challenge going forward. India exported 7,79,016 tonnes of oilmeals, mainly rapeseed meal, to China during April 2025-February 2026 against 38,240 tonnes in the corresponding period of the preceding financial year.
