In December, India's vegetable oil imports reached 1.19 million tons, 25% less than in November. This included 265,000 tons of sunseed oil (-22%), 503,000 tons of palm oil (-40%), marking a nine-month low. Soyoil imports increased by 3% to 420,000 tons. Currently, palm oil is about 100 USD/ton more expensive than soyoil. A further decline in palm oil imports in favor of soyoil is expected in January.
