23121. 7,000 tonnes onion imported, 25,000 tonnes likely to arrive before Deepavali, says Piyush Goyal
- The central cooperative NAFED will soon begin importing onions in a bid to tame soaring prices, Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday
- Although NAFED had created a buffer stock of 1 lakh tonnes from the rabi crop, from which it has been releasing stock into retail markets directly and through State governments, it has already disposed of 40%, and another 25% is expected to be lost to damp and rot.
- With regard to NAFED’s scheme to procure apples from Jammu and Kashmir, Mr. Goyal claimed that the scheme had managed to reach only 1% of its 13 lakh tonne target last year because “J&K farmers had got a better price in the market, so they had no need for procurement”.

23123. India’s RBD palmolein imports seen subdued till April as normality yet to return to hotel sector
- Besides lower offtake due to Coronavirus by the hotel, restaurant and catering segment, which makes good use of palm group of oils, imports were affected by a couple of initiatives taken by the Modi government Edible oils import, most of which is used for cooking, dropped to a five-year low last season (November 2019-October 2020) to 13.52 million tonnes as the HoReCa sector was affected by the lockdown announced by the Indian government to tackle COVID-19
- Edible oil imports are among the top five commodities that account for a heavy outflow of precious foreign exchange from India. Over Rs 75,000 crore is being spent annually on these imports over the last couple of years. One of the features of last season’s lower edible oil imports is the drastic decline in shipments of RBD (refined, bleached and deodorised) palmolein into the country.
- RBD palmolein imports plunged to 0.42 million tonnes last season from 2.73 million tonnes the previous season. India discouraged imports of palm oil from Malaysia, one of the major producers, due to souring of bilateral relations during the Mahathir Mohamad regime and cracked down on imports from Nepal, which hardly produces any palm oil.
