India's Oilmeal Exports Surge 3% in H1 FY26, Boosted by Chinese Demand
India sent more oilmeal to other countries between April and October 2025.
This is because people in China wanted more rapeseed meal, which is used to feed animals.
The Indian government also let companies sell de-oiled ricebran again, which helped too.
More groundnut was grown in India, so there was more groundnut meal to send to other countries.
India's oilmeal exports grew by 3.18% in April-Oct 2025-26
Rapeseed meal exports, especially to China, drove the growth
India exported 24.64 lakh tonnes (lt) of oilmeals in H1 FY26
Government lifted ban on de-oiled ricebran export, boosting ricebran extraction exports
Groundnut meal exports increased due to higher groundnut production
