Imagine India needs to grow its own cooking oil.
The IVPA, a group of oil producers, wants India to become self-sufficient in making edible oils.
They see changes in trade and prices, so they want to speed up this process.
The IVPA recently had a meeting where they re-elected their leader, Sudhakar Desai.

The call comes amid changes in trade and global prices.
Sudhakar Desai was reappointed as IVPA President.
