NEW DELHI: Rising edible oil prices has become a cause of concern for the go nment. The average prices of all edible oils - groundnut, mustard, vanaspati, soybean, sunflower and palm - have increased, with the spike in the case of palm, soybean and sunflower oils by up to 20-30% in the last one year.

新德里:不断上涨的食用油价格已成为印度政府关注的一个问题。所有食用油——花生油、芥菜油、林王油、大豆油、葵花籽油和棕榈油——的平均价格都有所上涨,其中棕榈油、大豆油和葵花籽油的价格在过去一年里上涨了20-30%。

Sources said this was flagged at a presentation before a Group of Ministers headed by home minister Amit Shah early this week. They added while prices of onion have reduced due to import of nearly 30,000 tonnes and potato prices have stabilised, edible oil prices have been increasing constantly.

消息人士称,在本周早些时候由内政部长阿米特·沙阿率领的一批部长提及了这一点。他们补充说,由于进口了近3万吨,洋葱价格有所下降,土豆价格企稳,但食用油价格一直在持续上涨。

Data accessed from the consumer affairs ministry's price monitoring cell show that the average price of mustard oil was 120 per litre on Thursday compared to 100 a year back. In the case of vanaspati, prices have increased to 102.5 per kg against 75.25 a year back. The modal price of soybean oil was selling at 110 per litre while average price on October 18 in 2019 was 90. Similar has been the trend in the case of sunflower and palm oil.

从消费者事务部价格监测单元获得的数据显示,周四芥子油的平均价格为每升120卢比,而一年前为每升100卢比。以林王油为例,价格已从一年前的每公斤75.25卢比升至102.5卢比。大豆油的模态价格为每公升110卢比,而2019年10月18日的平均价格为每公升90卢比。葵花籽油和棕榈油的价格也有类似的趋势。

Sources said the reduction in palm oil production in Malaysia in the past six months has been one of the reasons behind increase in prices of other edible oils. Nearly 70% of the palm oil in the country is used by the processed food industry, which is the biggest bulk consumer. Industry sources now said it's up to the go nment to take a call whether to reduce the import duty on palm oil considering that the increase in palm oil prices directly impacts prices of other edible oils.

消息人士称,马来西亚过去六个月棕榈油产量下降是其他食用油价格上涨的原因之一。该国近70%的棕榈油用于加工食品行业,这是最大的大宗消费。业内人士表示,考虑到棕榈油价格的上涨直接影响到其他食用油的价格,是否降低棕榈油进口关税将由政府来决定。
