Palm oil is considered as one of the most consumable edible oil in the world. India is the largest consumer and importer of palm oil.
Factors for distribution of global palm oil production:
1Suitable climate → majorate temperature (20-25°C)
2Rainfall availability → about 200cm
3Most fertile soil → Indonesia and Malaysia - converted rain forest for palm oil production
4Market availability huge international demand encourage cultivation of palm oil in developing countries like ASEAN
India - largest importer of palm oil despite having suitable conditions due to:
1Demand-supply mismatch → rising population and middle class → huge demand
2Easy import option → for industries, it is easy to import → less custom duty
3Cowbed model → huge price fluctuation
4Reduced cultivable area (25 million) and stagnant palm oil production since last decade
5Lack of govt support → not implemented at high properly
