MUMBAI – India's oilmeal exports in November fell nearly 26% on year to 270,843 tonnes, according to data released by The Solvent Extractors' Association of India Friday. For Apr-Nov, oilmeal exports were at 2.73 million tonnes, down from 2.75 million tonnes a year ago.

The export of soybean meal in the last two months (Oct-Nov), increased on strong demand from European buyers such as France and Germany. "Since last two years, soybean meal manufacturers have been facing weak demand from domestic live-stock feed makers, who are showing preference towards the cheaper distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a by-products of ethanol production from grains such as corn and rice," the association said. 

 

Exports of mustard meal fell nearly 25% to 109,195 tonnes in November from 145,089 tonnes in the previous year. Export of mustard meal during Apr-Nov rose to 1.36 million tonnes from 1.32 million tonnes last year.

In Apr-Nov, too, rice bran meal exports rose to 38,257 tonnes from 14,321 tonnes a year ago. The government had lifted the ban on export of de-oiled rice bran with effect from Oct. 3. This led to resumption of exports, with 38,257 tonnes exported to Vietnam and Nepal during Oct-Nov, the association said. In July 2023, the government had banned the export of de-oiled rice bran citing high domestic prices of cattle feed and milk products.
