THE SOLVENT EXTRACTORS ASSOCIATION OF INDIA

PRESS RELEASE
Export of Oilmeals - April to August, 2011 - Up by 60%
The Solvent Extractors Association of India has just compiled the export data for export of oilmeals for the month
of August 2011 and reported at 279,469 tons compared to 244,075 tons in August 2010. The export of oilmeals
during April-August 2011 is reported at 1,639,240 tons compared to 1,021,957 tons during the same period of
last year i.e. up by 60%
During current oil year 2010-11 (Nov.10 to Aug. 11) export of oilmeals increased due to a) Sharp increased in
oilseeds production during current year (2010-11) compared to previous year (2009-10). B) Increased availability
of oilseeds lead to higher crushing and production of oil and meals for domestic and export and c) Good crushing
parity due to high price of oils and export demand for oilmeals. It may be noted during 2009-10, due to lower
production of oilseeds, coupled with disparity & lower demand, the export was down to lowest in last few years.
