In April this year, edible oil producer Indonesia had proposed to ban palm oil exports from month end. The move pushed the prices of edible oils higher, which were already on the boil due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The announcement to ban exports by Indonesia was aimed at containing edible oil prices in the Indonesian domestic market. India sources 45 per cent of its annual palm oil needs from Indonesia. The ban led to boosting of margins for edible oil producers such as Adani Wilmar.
