SEA noted that buoyed by strong domestic demand for mustard oil?especially the traditional kachi ghani variety India?s crushing activities have gained momentum, resulting in higher production of rapeseed meal. This surplus has coincided with a surge in overseas demand, with China emerging as the key growth driver. Between April and July 2025, China imported nearly 277,000 tons of Indian rapeseed meal, a dramatic rise from just 12,011 tons in the same period last year.
