  • How will nmeo-op affect oil palm cultivation in India?
  • With the Indian government’s announcement of more than 1.4 billion USD to promote oil palm cultivation in the country under the NMEO-OP, the area under oil palm cultivation is projected to increase by more than three folds to a million hectares, and the production of crude palm oil to 1.125 million tonnes by 2025-26.
  • Which country imports the most palm oil?
  • India is the world’s largest palm oil importer. It imported 8.4 million metric tonnes (MMT) of palm oil in 2020-21, constituting around 18 % of global imports. Overall, India is the third largest consumer of edible oil in the world and relies on imports for 62% (2020-21) of its consumption, with palm oil taking up a lion’s share.
  • Why is India investing in oil palm?
  • India has been trying to expand its domestic production by investing in domestic oil palm. Government schemes between 2011-14, like the Oil Palm Area Expansion (OPAE) and National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm (NMOOP 2014), were launched to increase domestic cultivation of oil palm.
  • Where does India import palm oil?
  • India majorly imports from Indonesia (61 percent) and Malaysia (32 percent), which are also the two of the most biodiverse regions in the world. As the global demand for palm oil increases, producer countries have to clear substantial tracts of tropical forests to make room for the palm oil plantations.
