THE INDIAN ECONOMY AND THE OVERVIEW OF THE EDIBLE OIL SECTOR IN INDIA

The size of the Indian oilseeds-based sector is estimated at US$ 16.5 billion (inclusive of exports and imports). India is the worlds fourth largest vegetable oil economy. Currently, India accounts for 7.4% of world oilseeds output; 6.1% of world oilmeal production; 3.9% of world oilmeal export; 5.8% of world vegoil production; 11.2% of world vegoil import; and 9.3% of the world edible oil consumption (Source: Oil World). The estimated land under cultivation for oilseed in India is 25 - 26 million hectares.

Indias annual consumption is around 12 million tonnes vis-a-vis Chinas 14.5 million tonnes. However, Indias per capita consumption at 10.2 kgs per annum is considerably lower compared to global standards. India is also a leading producer of oilseeds, contributing 7-8% of world oilseed production. India is estimated to account for around 6% of the worlds production of edible oils. Though it has the largest cultivated area under oilseeds in the world, crop yields tantamount to only 50-60% of the worlds average. India is the fifth largest producer of oilseeds in the world, behind US, China, Brazil, and Argentina. Since 1995, Indian share in world production of oilseeds has been around 8-10%.

In midst of global slowdown, India was one of the few economies in the world to foster growth of more than 6% during the Financial Year ended 2008. The growth was constrained by the lackluster performance of manufacturing sector and agricultural sector, which grew at little over 3 % and 1% respectively, for the fiscal ended December 2008.

The slowdown in Growth was exemplified by the Growth in inflation, which grew from 6.37% for the Financial Year ended December 2007 to 8.38 % for the Financial Year ended December 2008, volatility in crude oil Prices, which rose from $92 per barrel at the beginning of the year, to $ 13 7 per barrel in the month of July, and closed the year at $ 35 per barrel and the devaluation of Rupee from Rs. 39.40 as on December 31,2007 to Rs.48.40 as on December 31,2008.

The slowdown of the economy had its effect on the Edible Oil Sector. In the beginning of the year a sudden rise in the prices of Edible Oil in the International and Domestic market had forced the Government to ban the export of Edible Oil from India. The basic intention of the Government behind this ban was to increase the supply of edible oil in the domestic market and to spiral inflation.

The last quarter of the Financial Year 2008 saw a specious fall in the crude oil prices.

The unprecedented fall and the devaluation of the Indian Rupee has forced the Ministry to reconsider its ban on the export of edible oil and to increase duty on the edible oil imported into India.

If the Government succeeds in implementing these policies, than the Indian Edible Oil manufacturers will be able to offer their products at competitive prices.
