The export of rapeseed meal during April-November is sharply increased to 745,901 (392,463) tons in first eight months, almost doubled mainly exported to South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand, said B.V Mehta, Executive Director, SEA.
Mehta said, “We understand from Ministry of Commerce/Export Inspection Council of India that China will resume import of Rapeseed Meal from India. Those five units already approved by General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China, GACC ( formely AQSIQ) will able to resume the export of Rapeseed Meal to China once their registration with Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) is done which is cumbersome process and takes a long time.”
About soymeal export prospects to China, Mehta told, “Resumption of export of Soybean Meal from India to China, may take some more time as Chinese GACC team likely to visit during current month to inspect/approve the units.”
Also, Iranian market has opened up for Indian soybean meal. During current year from April to November 2018, about 2.0 lakh tons of soybean meal shipped against last year just 23,000 tons, supporting export of oilmeals from India, Mehta noted.
