India’s total oilseed production in marketing year (MY) 2014/15 will be 37.4 million metric tons (MMT), a 2.5 percent decrease from the current year, assuming normal weather patterns during the 2014 June-September monsoon. Tight oilseed supplies in MY 2014/15 will moderate meal production to 18.4 MMT. Growing international demand will increase meal exports to 5.5 MMT. India’s edible oil production may decline to 7.7 MMT, but imports will rise to 12.4 MMT to fill any demand gaps.
