India: Oilseeds and Products Update

India is expected to produce 6.4 million metric tons (MMT) of rapeseed and mustard in marketing year (MY) 2015/16. The crop will come from 6.45 million hectares and will mark a ten-percent increase over last year. An incremental rise in planted area from some non-traditional eastern, northeastern, and northern states will partially compensate for a net decline in planted area from Rajasthan. Total oilmeal exports in MY 2015/16 will decline to 1.6 MMT. Vegetable oil imports will rise upwards of 15.4 MMT.
