India 2013‐14 Veg Oil Imports Likely At 11 Mln Tonne: Mistry India's vegetable oils import are expected to rise to 11 million tonne in 2013‐14 from 10.6 million tonne estimated this year, said Dorab Mistry, director of Godrej International Ltd. For 2013‐14, production of vegetable oils in the country is likely to be higher by at least 500,000 tonnes, he said. These estimates are very preliminary because the rabi crop is yet to be planted, Mistry noted. Mistry stated that the consumption growth in India is decelerating for the July to November period due to current economic slowdown. However, the consumption growth should pick in the run up to elections and in the inevitable post‐election euphoria in 2014. He forecast consumption growth to rise by about 800,000 tonnes next year. "We have the added uncertainty of the currency but I remain optimistic that post‐election euphoria will be all pervasive and help to lift the rupee also," Mistry said.
