India’s palm oil imports seen to slow


Buying less: India is one of the biggest importers of palm oil in the world, but a spike in Covid-19 cases, leading to a lockdown, is seen to slow its purchase of the commodity.

This could happen due to the current lockdown, which requires the temporary closure of hotels and restaurants, said TA Research.
