In its report containing the data for the export of oilmeals for the month of July 2017, the Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA) stated that the overall export of oilmeals between April and July 2017 was provisionally reported at 6,38,468 ton, vis-a-vis the 4,13,341 ton during the corresponding period of last year (i e it was up by 54 per cent).
The export during July 2017 is reported at 39,122 ton compared to 1,08,638 ton in July 2016 (i e down by 64 per cent).
In the last three months, the export of oilmeals improved compared to the previous year, thanks to good monsoon, better oilseeds production and price parity.
In percentage terms, export showed improvement, but it was still lower compared to earlier years, which can be seen from the following table.
It may be also noted that India faced drought years in 2014-15 and 2015-16, which lead to the lower production of oilseeds, which affected the export of oilmeals to a lowest level. However with good monsoon last year, the export revived to some extent.
