IVPA urges curbs on duty-free Nepal edible oil imports
The Indian Vegetable Oil Producers' Association (IVPA) urges the government to curb the surge in duty-free edible oil imports from Nepal under SAFTA, which reached 1,80,000 tonnes in January-March 2025, surpassing 2024's total. IVPA suspects third-country routing and highlights the negative impact on domestic processors and farmers, who are receiving prices below the minimum support price.
