A decrease in the export of racking meals and food with Castauda led to a 11 percent reduction in the general exports of the duration of oil rubber 2024-25. The data compiled by the Association of Solvent extractors of India (Sea) showed that India exported 43.42 Lakh Tons (LT) or duration of the oil sheets of April 2024-25 against 48.85 LT in the corresponding period of the previous year. General exports, in terms of FOB value (free on board), decreased by 21 % of ₹ 15,368 million rupees in 2023-24 to ₹ 12,171 million rupees in 2024-25.
BV Mehta, Executive Director of Sea, attributed this decrease in export to the reduction of food export and the duration of hardened food in the period.
Potential opportunities
In 2024-25, the export of food by Colza decreased to 18.75 LT (22.13 LT in 2023-24). The export of Castorseed meals fell to 2.99 LT (3.72 LT in 2023-24).
He said that the export of Colza meals collapsed due to the lack of demand for the destinations and the price price in the last year of $ 278 (average price in April 2024) to $ 209 to April 15, 2025.
Highlighting the potential opportunities in the recovery of the Chinese market for the export of meals by Colza, he said that the continuous scarcity of the food raps in the European Union (EU) has led to a significant increase in world prices. China, who is a great food consumer by Colza, currently imports mainly from Canada and the EU. “Given the current supply limitations and the increase in prices, India has a renewed opportunity to explore and recover its lost participation in the Chinese market,” he said.
If China relaxes the strict conditions in the importation of Indian Colza food, India could become a key supplier and comply with a substantial portion of China’s demand. Currently, the food per bullfight in the international market is cited at $ 335 per ton (former Hamburg), while Colza Indian food (former Kandla) Fas (free next to the ship) cited only $ 209 per ton. He said that lending this opportunity could not only boost Indian exports, but also help stabilize prices in the international market.
Prohibition
The export of soy flour remained more or less the same in 2024-25. India exported 21.27 LT of soy flour in 2024-25 (21.33 LT). He attributed this to the largest imports in European countries, since India supplies soy food that is not GM.
Emphasizing the need to raise the prohibition of the export of overflowing rice (DORB), Mehta said that the Government imposed a prohibition of Dorb’s export in July 2023, citing Connes in high internal prices, which reached the approach of ₹ 18,000 per ton. Before the ban, India was exporting around 4-5 LT or Dorb annually, mainly to Vietnam, Bangladesh and other Asian countries.
By stating that market dynamics have changed significantly since then, he said that the current DORF price has fallen well below ₹ 8,000 per ton. In addition, the increase in the availability and adoption of dry grain distilers with soluble (DDG) in animal feed has reduced Dorb’s domestic demand, which aggravates the challenge of surplus elimination, he said.
Prices decrease
In the last year, the prices of oil flour (in terms of dollar) decreased in the international market, which led to a drop in exports. The price of soy flour fas decreased from $ 491 per ton in April 2024 to $ 356 per ton in March 2025, and violated the food from $ 285 per ton in April from 2024 to $ 196 per ton in March in March 2025. Duration of the period, the heavy ripe weighed $ 83.62 to ₹ 86.52 per US dollar.
