India imports more than 60% of edible oil. War going on between Russia and Ukraine for the last few months along with export restrictions by Indonesia have affected the imports. Due to this, there was an increase in the prices of edible oil in the domestic and global market. However, the government had also taken several important decisions last year to cut prices.

The steps taken by the government may have seen a fall in oil prices, but they are still at costly levels. Actually, the restrictions imposed during the corona period had badly affected
production, due to which the prices increased. Meanwhile, many countries to maintain the
domestic supply imposed export restrictions, which worsened the supply situation. After this, the situation was further worsened by the Russia-Ukraine crisis and the supply of sunflowers was badly affected. Due to various factors affecting the supply of sunflower and palm oil, the consumption of other edible oils increased and their prices were also affected.
